Score one for each home run or marked deep-fly target; foul balls and unsafe swings do not count.

Example: Put one batter at the line while everyone else stays behind the fielding boundary.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Retrieving balls while the hitter is still active. Stop the round before anyone enters the field.
