There are a few changes to terminate a teams at-bat upon the hitting of a HR in excess of the limit.
Moving Men's Major bases to 80' and all other men's to 70'.
Allow stealing at all levels of men's slow pitch
Move the pitcher's plate back to 53' or 55'
Numerous changes to return all balls to a maximum of 525 lb. compression. Reason: Losing teams who do not want to hit a "mush ball".
Eliminate the use of an 11" ball for women in the Co-ed game.
There are more changes to the Senior's game than I can type from reclassification of the divisions, home run allowances and even limiting the number of runs scored in an inning/game (which is being experimented with at the international level).
Eliminate the 6' height requirement for a pitch. Keep the 12' limit, but drop the low end.
