Knockout Round Standings
The Pioneer Baseball League uses a unique “Knockout Round”, a homerun “shoot-out” to replace extra innings. Thus, no extra innings at a PBL game, but rather if a game is tied after nine innings fans will get the extra treat of watching a sudden-death homerun contest settle the score.
Here’s how it works: the visiting team designates a hitter for the first round who gets a two-minute period to see how many homers he can hit. Then the home team gets the same opportunity. If they’re still tied after the first round a additional rounds are played with a different hitter each time until a winner is declared.
Each team gets to select their own batting practice pitcher to throw in the contest.
It was recently reported that MLB is considering using a “Knockout Round” style format to decide ties in its All-Star Game. The PBL announced through social media that it fully supports this proposal considering how successful and how much fun PBL fans have with the PBL Knockout Round.
