In an effort to maintain a competitive balance for games Town & Country Baseball will be implementing a new bat rule.  This rule will take effect and be strictly enforced for the Spring 2012 season. 

New Bat Rule:

The official bat shall be round in cross section for its entire length, straight from end to end for its entire length and smooth surfaced in the hitting area.

The maximum diameter shall not exceed two and five eights (2 ⅝) inches.  All bats larger in diameter than two and one quarter (2 ¼) inches must be equal to or heavier than minus 10 (-10) for U5 thru U14.  For example -10, -9, -8, -7, -6 or -5 would be acceptable length to weight ratio’s whereas -11, -12 and -13 would not. 

The maximum length shall not exceed thirty-six (36) inches.

The bat shall be constructed of wood, aluminum, or any other material or combination of materials as defined for baseball bats by ASTM standards.  

Any material to improve the grip may be used for a distance not to exceed eighteen (18) inches from the handle end.  

All bats must be commercially manufactured for baseball play. 

Softball bats or bats altered after manufacture to reduce or add weight will not be allowed.

To download a copy of the new rule please click here.

Our current field status can be found by: 

1.  Calling the rainout number at 498-INFO (4636). This is the main T&C rain-out number. It will take you to baseball’s field condition, which can also be directly reached at 498-4694 (same message).

2.  Checking the baseball website at http://baseball.tandcsports.org

3.  For situations where the fields are closed, sign up for alerts via your cell phone, pager, or e-mail by going online at http://www.baseball.tandcsports.org/estatus.php

4.  If the fields are closed, then no one is allowed to be on them; no practices allowed.  

5.  We try to have our website and taped voice recording updated by 4:30pm on weekdays when conditions are questionable.  If the website or the voice recording is not updated, you should assume that games are being played.  Be aware conditions often change after 4:30pm and games may be called at the field while our website or voice recording may or may not be able to be updated.

 LIGHTNING POLICY
 

When you see lightning or hear thunder, immediately suspend activities and go to your car. If you are unable to get to your car, please go to the nearest concession stand patio, restroom, or middle of the pavilion on the 20’s field. The lightning light will be activated and the siren(bull horn) will sound 4 times. All practices/games will be suspended for 30 minutes. Only when you see the light go off and hear the siren (bull horn) sound 2 times is it ok to go back to the fields.
