7 run 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.

Elaine,
I never stop the play - it's just that only 5 (or whatever) runs counted on the score card. Kids didn't need to know that, and the team's scorekeeper can record it anyway s/he wants for team statistics, etc.
