WILL-KAN PONY BASEBALL LEAGUE
All games will be governed by Will-Kan Rules. IHSA rules will apply when Will-Kan rules do not address a particular situation.
- The ten run rule will apply after the required amount of innings has been played to make the game official. A fifteen run rule will apply for the Mustang Division. Complete game for Mustang is 3 ½ innings. Complete game for Bronco/Pony is 4 ½ innings.
- In the Mustang Division, teams will be allowed to score only five runs per inning for the first three innings, and allowed unlimited number of runs the last three innings.
- There will be no BALK rule for the Mustang Division
- In the Mustang Division "only", runners may steal bases, but may not leave the base they are occupying until the pitched ball has reached home plate. Once the pitcher steps on the rubber, runners who leave the base too soon will be called out and the ball is dead. After a walk, the batter can only go to first base until the next pitch. Runners on base can advance at their own risk. "No Delayed Steals" - Any runner stealing a base must make his break for the base he is stealing before the catcher is in motion of throwing the ball back to the pitcher. In the case of an over throw, the ball is in play. Also, no stealing home unless there is a pass ball or a play made on a runner.
- Every Mustang/Bronco player must play two- (2) full innings and take one (1) turn at bat. If any player is denied this opportunity, his team shall forfeit the game. No forfeit shall occur for this reason, if the game is shortened for any legitimate reason, and the player(s) would have fulfilled his/their-playing requirement had the game been played for the full number of scheduled innings.
- In the Mustang Division play, when the umpire calls "Infield Fly Rule" the batter is out, and the ball is dead. The runners must return to their bases.
- NO DROP THIRD STRIKE IN MUSTANG DIVISION.
- The Mustang Division will play with continuous batting. In the Bronco and Pony Divisions, continuous batting will be an option. In the case of continuous batting, a player is not out for any injury or illness; but will be counted out for leaving the game early. In case of a suspended game, if using continuous batting, new players may not be inserted any where in the batting order except to the bottom of the order.
- Games can only be postponed for any emergency, weather conditions or a school activity, which would bring the team to less then 9 players. All postponed games must be rescheduled within one week and played within two weeks, or the league President will direct when and where the game will be played. If the games are not played, the team that cannot play will forfeit.
- All games called due to weather, darkness, light restriction, or anything else out of the control of the manager's without the game being an official game; will be a suspended game, and will be completed from the point in which the game was stopped.
- A player can be brought up from a lower age bracket but can pitch only if on the permanent roster. If he is brou
