Scorecards

The scorecard below is used by umpires in every game to record innings pitched by each player and the score of the game. Umpires will verify with the scorekeeper for each team throughout the game. At the end of the game, each coach is required to sign the scorecard, confirming the final score of the game and the innings pitched by each individual player that pitched. It is the responsibility of each coach to ensure all information on the scorecard is correct.

  • Once the card has been signed, it is official.
