HOW TO SCORE POINT IN BASE BALL

Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played by two teams of nine players, who take turns batting and fielding. 

The pitcher throws the ball to a batter, who tries to hit it and run around four bases to score a "run"

The fielding team's objective is to get the batter or runners out to prevent scoring.

Game objective

The offensive team's goal is to hit the ball and have its players run the bases counter-clockwise to score runs.

A run is scored when a player legally advances around all the bases and touches home plate.

The defensive team's goal is to prevent the offensive team from scoring by getting outs.

The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. 

How the game progresses

A game is divided into nine innings, with each team getting a turn to bat and field in each inning.

The visiting team typically bats first in each inning, followed by the home team.

An inning ends when the defensive team gets three outs.

After three outs, the teams swap roles. 



In baseball, scoring revolves around players successfully hitting the ball and running the bases.

To understand this process better, let's first look at the different types of hits a batter can achieve.

Types of Hits

• Single: Batter reaches first base safely
   
• Double: Batter reaches second base safely
   
• Triple: Batter reaches third base safely
   

How a run is scored

 Runners advance around the bases: A run is scored when a player successfully touches first, second, third, and

home plate without being put out.  

 Scoring on a hit:  When a batter hits the ball, any runners already on base can advance, and if they make it  

home, they score a run. 

 Home run: A home run scores one run for every player on base, plus the batter who hit the home run.

 Fielder's choice: A player can score if the defense chooses to make an out on another runner instead of the

 runner heading for home.

Wild pitch/passed ball: A run can also score on a wild pitch or passed ball where the catcher fails to catch the pitch

 cleanly

Errors: If a runner is not forced to advance but makes it to home plate due to a defensive error, they are also

considered to have scored a run. 



How to read a team score: 

The final score is determined by the total runs scored by each team. 

Runs, hits, and errors: The score is typically broken down by the number of runs scored, the number of hits each

 team got, and the number of errors committed by each team. 

Innings: The game is divided into innings, and the score is tallied at the end of each inning.

Extra innings: If the game is tied after nine innings, extra innings are played until one team has scored more runs

than the other. 

Home Runs Explained
     
A home run occurs when the batter hits the ball out of the playing field in fair territory. This automatically scores a run for
the batter and any runners already on base.
