I have two options here:
1. WWMD (What Would Mike Do?) 
2. Try to find the old thread
I think I'll wait for Mike to chime in before I go searching for the old thread.... |
Rule 8.3.I.EXCEPTION All adult slow pitch (This does not apply to Seniors' Play)
On any fair batted ball hit over the fence for a home run or on a four base award, the batter and all runners are credited with a run. The batter and any runners on base are not required to run the bases. This eliminates any appeal play on runners.
I don't think it can be any clearer. If the fair fly ball leaves the park in any manner, only those adult SP players that are participating in Seniors' Play need to run the bases and or be subject to an appeal for a missed base.
