If the ball is fumbled on the third strike or fourth ball the base runner may take as many bases as she can get.

There are two umpires who control the game. One judges all balls, strikes, blocks, dead balls, balks, illegal deliveries, fair and foul hits, ground hits, foul strikes. All decisions at the home plate are made by her. Time and play are called. She stands in a position behind the catcher. The other judges the base plays. She stands near base line where she can best see field of play. The two change positions at the end of each inning. A regulation score card should be used. American Hand Ball[1]
