I blame it all on being Canadian with a British step-mom. I tried to get the wife to move to San Antonio a few years ago but alas no way would she go.
3-Pitch is a slo-pitch variant where the offence provides the pitcher and there is a a max of 3 pitches per batter. If the batted ball hits the pitcher in essence it's a foul ball, unless of course the pitcher touched the ball deliberately in which case the batter is out. Fair balls hit in the air over the outfield fence (otherwise known as Home Runs) are outs.
They have another tournament starting tonight. Fortunately it's also baseball playoffs and I am umpiring those instead.
Had a great time last night. The catcher absolutely could not catch and I got hit at least a dozen times. Ahh well at least they don't throw all that hard and at least they stopped tossing those bats straight back over F2 like at the beginning of the season. This winter's mission will be to buy better gear than the league provides.
Have fun out there.
