Oklahoma USSSA

2004

The following Home run rule only applies to:

Adult programs that currently allows home runs. This rule does not apply during National Invitational tournaments (NIT'S), National, Divisional or World tournaments. And only within the state of Oklahoma.

One up rule

The one up rule is in effect when: once both teams have reached their respective home run limits, either team may hit an additional home run; however, no team may ever go more than than one home run up on the other team. Any additional home run above the one-up will be scored as an out.

Example: Both class "C" teams have hit their respective (2) home runs by the bottom of the fourth inning. In the 5th inning, the visiting team is now allowed to hit another home run, and do so. In the bottom of the 5th the home team can now hit 2 home runs, which is allowed, because they are no more than one home run up on the other team. If one team teams does not hit their allotted home run limit, then the one-up home run rule will not be used. The home team, in the bottom of the 7th or later innings, may hit one home to pull even in the number of home runs as the opposing team, but may not hit a home run to go one up.
