In left field if the ball is playable on the ground and gets by the fielder and goes onto or over the trail, it should be considered a triple.

A Division teams: First ball over the fence is a homerun. All other balls over the fence will be deemed a strike. When an A Division team plays a B Division team the new rule will be in effect for the A Division team only. This rule change came into effect on June 5, 2008.

B Division teams: First ball over the fence is a homerun. All other balls over the fence will be deemed a single.

Colville 1 (Fenced Diamond):

For example: Team A hits a ball over the fence = Homerun. Consecutive balls over the fence by Team A = Single.
