Scores are not kept nor do the teams have win-loss records. All the effort is on fun and learning rudiments of the game. Farm league is a step up from tee ball, a big step - halfway to the minor division of Little League. In the farm league a hard ball is used and batters swing at a ball pitched not by an opposing pitcher but by their own coach. Base stealing is not allowed.
Games are four innings long.
The inning ends after three outs or when nine batters have taken a turn at the plate, whichever comes first. Farm league players are seven or eight years old. The five teams are the Braves, Brewers, Phillies, Cubs, and Astros. Parental attendance is high at Tee Ball and Farm League games. The Nauset varsity defeated the Vineyard JVs here Saturday, 3-0.
