This square will be cut from a backstop measuring 5' high and 3' wide. If the ball travels through the square in the air, it is considered a strike, even if it hits the side first. If the ball does not go through the square, and is not swung at by the batter, it is considered a ball. A pitched ball that hits the batter is also a ball, although the batter must attempt to avoid being hit. If a batter has 2 strikes and foul tips the ball through the square, it is considered strike 3.
