Little League Selections

Congratulations to Tomo Green, Jacob O’Connell and Lewis Patton on their selection for the RHBL Little League South team (The Ryde Falcons).

Very well done indeed. The Five Dock Falcons are proud of you.

WHEN: 7.30am TO 4.30pm Saturday 18th February

WHERE: BUNNINGS ASHFIELD

WHY: Raise $$$’S for FIVE DOCK FALCONS JUNIORS

Bunnings have allocated Saturday 18th February to Five Dock Falcons Baseball Club. We need volunteers from 7.30am to 4.30pm to run the BBQ and serve. Ideally we have 4 persons at anyone time doing 2 hour shifts, commencing at 7.30am and finishing at 4.30pm.

We recommend parents of teams playing on the Friday evening volunteer for the morning shift, and Saturday morning parents volunteer for afternoon shift. It’s a long day but it should be worth it.

All money raised will go towards equipment and development of the Juniors of Five Dock Falcons Baseball Club.

Please contact Martin Carey on 0412 004 164 who will allocate volunteers to available time slots.

RHBL Pitching Restrictions for the current season are now available on the Team Officials page.

From the RHBL Rules 2011-2012.

3.8.4. PITCHING LIMITS

THE LEAGUE WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY ABUSE OF THESE LIMITS NOR ANYONE TRYING TO OFFER SOME SORT OF INTERPRETATION.

If unrestricted the following limits apply:

If restricted the following limits apply:

A pitcher is restricted if they are scheduled to play again in the same weekend (eg as a Rep Player or in a gala day irrespective of whether the player is available to play in that scheduled game, eg if the Rep Player is planning to be away interstate on the day of their representative game then that player is still restricted during their club game).

A pitcher that is unrestricted may exceed their limit to complete a batter at the plate. Once a pitcher has reached the unrestricted limit, they may stay in the game in another defensive position other than as a Catcher.

A pitcher that is restricted (i.e. without two clear rest days) may not exceed their limit to complete a batter at the plate.

Any team found to over pitch or catch a player in an RHBL game will have a penalty of forfeit applied to it and the coach will face the RHBL Judiciary for disciplinary action which may include suspension.

All players that are playing in other games outside of RHBL must be fully aware off NSWBB rules on Pitching restrictions and must notify their coach if they have pitched in the days prior to any RHBL game.
