BASEBALL

• Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played on a field by two teams against each other. In baseball, a player on one team throws a small round ball at a player on the other team, who tries to hit it with a bat. Then the player who hits the ball has to run around the field.

Baseball interduction

​

• Players score runs by hitting the ball and running around the four bases before a player in the field is able to get them out. This can be done in stages or all in one go, depending on how many bases the player thinks they can reach without getting out. If a player reaches the base before the ball, they are called ‘safe’.

Baseball Game play

• The goal of the game is to score more points (runs) than the other team. The players on the team at bat attempt to score runs by touching all four bases, in order, set at the corners of the square-shaped baseball diamond.

​"Goal" of baseball

• A baseball game is played between two teams of nine players who each have nine innings.

• These innings are divided in half with the visiting team hitting at the ‘top’ of the inning and the home team at the ‘bottom.’  

• The team that scores the most runs by the end of the ninth inning wins the game.

• If the scores are level at the end of both teams’ ninth inning, the game can be extended into an extra inning.​

Baseball rules
