ABSTRACT:
The invention is a novel athletic filed and outdoor game played thereon. The game uses bats, mitts, and a ball on a rectangular playing field where each team attempts to score points by hitting the ball into the other team's end zone. Specifically, the defensive team pitches to the offensive team whereby the present hitter for the offensive team swings at the pitch and in some cases hits the ball. When the ball is hit it either may either be hit into fair or foul territory. When hit into foul territory, the ball is out play, or alternatively the defensive team attempts to catch the ball so as to force the movement of home plate to a point adjacent the catch which is back toward the hitting team's goal line. In contrast, when the ball is hit into fair territory, the defensive team uses bats to attempt to reverse the direction of the moving ball and hit it over the offensive team's goal line. Whenever the ball crosses a goal line, points are scored by the other team.
