Ground Balls. In B.C., whenever a Pawn moves two      SS__PI__2B  456
spaces, it's a Ground Ball.  Pawn two-stepping from   3B__CA__1B  789
the array: Ground Ball.  Simple as that.  The               RNBKQCBNR
''Infielders'' are the Bishop-SS, Bishop-2B, Knight-3B and Knight-1B. 
Any Infielder, wherever positioned, may capture that opposition Pawn by
replacing it on the square.  It is variety of ''dropping,'' or
teleporting, at times out of back rank systematically for the Infielder(B
or N).  Whenever opening two squares of Pawn, check how well-protected. 
Ground Ball is only possible for the same one turn as is more restrictive
En Passant to other square.  Maybe En Passant is less likely to be disadvantageous, but Groundball is more unpredictable for risktakers. [Not
all paired teams will approve controversial Ground Ball: choose the
Mutators, 5, 10, or 20, that most appeal to you in Baseball Chess.] (fff)
''Ground-Ball'' capture of Pawn by Infielder (3B-SS-2B-1B) as above.
(ggg) 'fff', instead of anywhere, the Infielder (B or N) must be within
own nonant to handle the Ground Ball, as Knights in fact are in the
starting array.  They then capture at opponent's two-stepped Pawn's
arrival square as before.
