Plaquita

La plaquita or la placa (English: little plate) is a bat-and-ball game played in the Dominican Republic with many similarities to cricket.

[1][2] Several Dominican MLB baseball players have attested to playing it as children.

One of the fielding team's players throws the ball to the batter at the opposite wicket, who may then try to hit it.

The fielding team's goal is to bowl the batter out by knocking over the wicket with the ball.
