 Water Boomerball
|
|
Before summer gets away on us, there is a game
you ought to try at the beach, the lake, or the sandbar--water
boomerball.
First, let's gain an understanding of boomerball. It's a softball-like
game played with a softball-sized wiffleball and a big fat red bat. The
only unusual rule is that the team up to bat provides the pitcher and each
hitter only gets one pitch to hit. A foul ball, a whiff, or a no swing
are all outs. Blame your woes on the pitcher, he/she is on your team and
should be giving you a pitch to blast every time.
Now for the water part. Put homeplate and first base on shore. Second and
third base are put in the water and are fashioned by tying down or weighing
down flotation devices.
With these simple instructions, your group is ready to play water boomerball.
You'll have a great time str "Going deep" with a good pitch is
a literal phrase. Triples and homeruns are rare unless you're a competitive
swimmer who can fly from second to third. And for the defense, force outs
at third are your best bet. Hustle helps too; wiffleballs don't float forever,
and outfielders, make sure you can tread water.
On a hot day, water boomerball is a refreshing change from other forms
of softball. In fact, it is a "hit" every time. Go deep.
