An out is recorded either by a strike out or when a fair ball is struck and is cleanly fielded by a defensive player prior to the runner reaching the buzzing base. The fair ball need not be fielded by the numbered player the spotter has called.
All defensive players are free to attempt to field balls they feel are within their capabilities.
A fair hit ball traveling over 180 feet in the air, with the runner successfully making it to the correct base, shall be counted as 2 runs.
