Andy's right, I used to be the UIC of a Rec league that used "continuation" with a 5 run per inning limit on TBall and PeeWee. It was hard to explain to the coaches and parents how it worked, so I tended to explain it at every pre-game meeting at the plate until the coach got the gist of it. I thought it was a fair rule. I hated leagues that had just a straight run rule because it never failed that bases would have 2-3 runners and say 3 runs had already scored in the inning. If a little girl got hold of one and belted it to the OF, I had to stop all play once 2 runners crossed the plate. The BR was ALWAYS confused and many cried! After all, they were 5-8 years of age!! Let 'em run and score, I say!
