Defensive coach complained, I discussed it with my partner, I issued a warning to offensive coach, he said "no problem" and we moved on.
The rule is basically the same as softball. Once the ball has gone over the fence, it is no longer in live ball territory, so by rule, the batting helmet is no longer required to be worn.
