For CP 1&2 - Clarification is needed:
In the rule book and how people are playing are two different things.

If the child hits the ball past the baseline they either get one of the follow which one?

a.) Hitter gets to advance to 2nd base and the rest of the base runners already on base can run as many as they can until the pitcher has the ball.

b.) Hitter gets to run until the ball is at the pitcher. In which hitter could get a homerun.
