Description

Compete with friends and family in this action-packed tabletop baseball experience that's fun for all ages - indoors or out!

1. Roll out your 5x5 baseball diamond.
2. Flip a coin to see who bats or pitches first.
3. Load the StrikeZone baseball into the Pitcher's hand. Pull back on the spring-loaded lever and release to fire the plunger into the back of the ball - sending it towards home plate.
4. With your left-hand, pull on the Batter's Line to raise and lower his arms and the bat. With your right-hand, pull back on the home plate lever to rotate your Batter's hips and swing through the ball.

• If you hit the ball to a Catcher, Fielder, or Pitcher before it hits the ground - you're out!
• If you ground hit the ball to a Catcher, Fielder, or Pitcher - you hit a single. (StrikeZone uses ghost runners to run the bases).
• If you ground hit a ball past everyone - you hit a double or a triple based on where it rolled off the edge of the field (as marked by a 2 or a 3 on the field).
• If you hit a fair ball in the air past everyone and above The Blue Monster - you hit a homer!
• For an extra fun rule twist, we recommend giving human players (whoever's pitching or on defense) the ability to catch a ball in mid-air. Catch the ball before it hits the ground or the basement wall and save a run!
• Strikes, balls, foul balls, outs and hitting the Batter with a pitch all follow traditional baseball scoring rules.

How does a player win:
Just like in Baseball, a player to score most in thier innings is a winner.
