Dear Teams,
Thank you to everyone who participated in the recent vote regarding the conclusion of our softball season. Based on the overwhelming majority, we will proceed with the following plan:
- The final two weeks of the season will be played as regular season doubleheaders.
- The originally scheduled final week of play will be removed from the schedule.
We appreciate the input from all who submitted their votes. For those who did not respond, we hope you understand and support the decision made in the best interest of the league.
Please note: All games over the next two weeks will be doubleheaders only.
Thank you for your continued participation and sportsmanship.
We are excited to announce that registration for the upcoming Fall Ball season is now open. This fall, we will be accepting a maximum of 26 teams. The league fee has been reduced to $700, and spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis—only the first 26 teams to submit full payment will be accepted.
Please note the following updates:
• Umpire fees will increase to $55 per game.
• The league will cover umpire fees for the championship game only.
• Fall Ball will begin the weekend after Labor Day.
We look forward to another competitive and exciting season. Thank you for your continued support!

LBSL Rules
In-House Rules
Umpire Payment
- All teams must pay the umpire $45 per team prior to the start of the game. Failure to make this payment will result in a forfeit, and the umpire will be paid from the team's deposit. For playoffs that go 3 games each team will split the $45 payment for the 3rd game.
- Teams are required to refund the $45 deposit before the next week's game. No team will be allowed to play until the deposit is replenished.
Game Equipment and Setup
- Required Equipment: Each team must bring bases, home plate, and a mat. Failure to do so results in a forfeit for both teams if neither team brings the equipment.
- Game Start Time: All games starting at 9 AM will have a 15-minute grace period. If a team has 9 players, the game must start. All 8 AM starts are strict and must begin at 8 AM sharp.
Team Composition
- Minimum Players: Teams must have 9 players to start a game. If a team has only 9 players, they do not need to take an out for the 10th batter.
- Adding Players:
- If a team chooses to take an out for the 10th batter, they can add the 10th player once they arrive.
- If the 10th player does not show up, the team must continue taking the out for the rest of the game.
- Teams that start with 9 players must finish with 9. If a player is removed due to injury and the team cannot field 9 players, the team will forfeit.
Batting and Fielding
- Lineup: Teams can bat up to 14 players, with 10 fielders and 4 extra players (EP).
- Batting:
-
-
- Bat Count: Each bat count starts at 1-1. After two strikes, the batter must put the ball in play; any fouls after two strikes result in an out.

- The pitcher must wear a mask and can stand up to 3 feet behind the pitching mound. The pitcher must be touching the mound when releasing the ball.
- The pitching mound must be 24 inches long and 6 inches wide. If no mound is available, the umpire can mark a spot 24 inches long and 6 inches wide.
Courtesy Runners
- Courtesy Runners: Each team has 5 courtesy runners per game. The courtesy runner is the last out, not the last batted out.
- Medical Courtesy Runners: Medical courtesy runners are unlimited and will only be given to players on the medical runners list. The medical courtesy runner is the last out, not the last batted out.
Home Runs and Extra Innings
- Home Runs: Each team is allowed 4 home runs per game on fenced fields. Any home runs after the 4th will be an out. No additional home runs are awarded in extra innings.
- Extra Innings: In extra innings, the player preceding the player up to bat will be placed on second base.
Run Rules

- No Stealing: Players cannot leave a base until the pitch crosses the plate.
- In the event the plate is unsafe due to moisture, the umpire will allow each team to step on the Black mat unless a play is made at the plate. If a play is being made at the plate, the runner must go to the plate.
- Runners must avoid contact when running to a base with the player making the play, it is not a slide or surrender league. In the event a runner does come in contact with the fielder it will be an out. This will be at the umpire’s discretion.
- Re-Entry: A player may re-enter a game once and must do so in the same spot in the lineup.

- Smoking: No smoking on the playing field at any time. This does not include dugouts and sidelines. Note: Bensalem Community Park is a non-smoking park.
- Metal Spikes: No metal spikes allowed. Any player caught wearing metal spikes will be suspended for the duration of that game only.
