HOME RUN DERBY TAG
 

Equipment:

Description:

 

 

 

Purpose:

 Four bases, a padded bat, and a foam ball.

In a large open space with four bases placed in a diamond shape (considerably smaller than a baseball field).  The batter tries to bat the ball from an underhand pitch from a pitcher.  After the batter either hit or miss the ball the batter will run and try to step on all bases in order to run a home run.  If the batter misses the ball or the ball lands in front of the first and third base the pitcher will get the ball and try to tag the batter. If the ball gets to the right of the second base and past the first base the right outfielder will get the ball and try to tag the batter.  If the ball gets to the left of the second base and past the third base the left outfielder will get the ball and try to tag the batter.
