Teams can be of 1 or more players. Each team has a pitcher and possiblyone or more fielders.  The playing field is composed of a wall andthe area in front of it.  A strike zone based on a baseball/softballstrike zone is drawn on a wall. The pitcher pitches a tennis ball froma set distance depending on the age of the players. If the batter swingsand misses it is a strike. If the ball hits the wall within the box, itis a strike.  Three strikes is an out; four balls is a walk. A fair or foul area is defined at the beginning of the game.  A ballmust travel a minimum distance in the air to be declared a fair ball. Increasing distances of carry in the air are used to decide whether a hitis a single, double, triple or home run.  The team with the most runsat the end of the game wins.
