Gentlemen:
Two play situations which happened in southern California.
1) A BESR stamp or sticker is not required for wooden bats.
2) Anytime a batted ball goes under a fence and is out of play, ONE umpire, preferably the base umpire, should go out and be sure the ball is actually out of play. This is regardless of whether or not the out of play ball is clearly visable to the umpires. This is a credibility issue to the participants.
