Diamond Defined: Fly Ball To Forfeited Game








From the 2006 book, The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated, by David Nemec, I will present Rule 2 of the Code - the definitions of baseball terms - over the course of the 2012 baseball season. Today’s terms are: Fly Ball, Force Play, Forfeited Game.

Fly Ball – a batted ball that goes high in the air in flight.

Force Play – a play in which a runner legally loses her right to occupy a base by reason of the batter becoming a runner.

Forfeited Game – a game declared ended by the umpire-in-chief in favor of the offended team by the score of 9 to 0, for violation of the rules.
