La Plaquita

A Dominican street game similar to cricket or baseball played by two teams of two. Players use baseball bats or sticks, a ball, and two vehicle license plates (often bent into a C-shape) which serve as wickets. The plates are placed 30 to 40 feet apart on a paved street, with a safe zone marked around each one. A batter is out if the opposing team knocks over their plate while the tip of the bat is outside the safe zone. Teams get three outs per inning. Runs are scored by sprinting between the plates, though players sometimes try to cheat by running in circles (hacer coca). To win after reaching the target score, the batting team must physically knock down both plates with the bat.

Note: If you do not want the guy who owns the gear to get pissed off, do not hit La Plaquita with the bat at the end of the game.
