| Innings | 7 | 9 |
| Players on Field | 10 (one additional outfielder) | 9 |
| Bunting | Not permitted | Permitted |
| Fouls | Batters 3rd strike foul ball is an out | Batters are permitted limitless fouls following the 2nd strike |
| Stealing Bases | Must wait until the batter has made contact with the ball | May steal as soon as the ball has left the pitcher's hand. |
