| May 23, 2012 softball4b Men's 70 1248 posts | One up Rule 8.4(2) – HOME RUN OVER THE FENCE - MAJOR PLUS (50+ to 65+) In the Major-Plus Division for ages 50+ through 65+, a limit of twelve (12) home runs. Each home run over the limit is a walk and the base runners advance only if forced by the batter being awarded the walk. The “1-Up-Progressive Rule” shall be enforced after a team has reached the home run limit. A team may only hit a home run after the opposing team has hit the same number of home runs and must wait to hit more until the opposing team hits a home run. Additional home runs in excess of the 1-Up rule count as walks. Q. This being the rule then: 1st inning - Team A - Visitors hit 12 HR. Home Team hits 12 in bottom of inning. 2nd Inning - Visitors hit another ball over the fence..walk or HR. I say walk until Home team hits their 13th. |

| May 24, 2012 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | That's one loooong inning, Mike. It is a HR-Donnie is correct. The only variance then is that in the bottom of the last inning the home team may not go 1-up. |
| May 24, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | The way wrote if using "Progressive one up" in the bottom of 1st the home team could have gone one up, and had 13 hrs. Any more would have been walks. Should either team choose to stay one down they force other team to only get a walk for any hr they hit. |
| May 24, 2012 SSUSA Staff 3490 posts | Answer is Home Run as turn2 stated. Visitor in the example gets "Walk" until the Home reaches HR maximum for the division. There are some wording 'issues' in that rule which we will clarify at the Rules Committee Meeting during this year's Convention, but conceptually, either may hit HR's up to the maximum, but the "1-up" doesn't begin until both teams have reached the division maximum. Just being a bit picky here, but our run rules for the Major+ wouldn't allow a 12-HR 1st inning with only a 9-run allowable runs per inning! The example could happen in the 2nd inning, though. |
