BASEBALL • Baseball is a team sport played between two opposing teams which consist of 9 players. • The object of baseball is to score more runs than your opponent. • The idea is to hit the ball thrown at you as far as you can before running around 4 bases to complete a run. • Once a player manages to get around the four bases before being tagged out then another batter comes in.
BASEBALL • To win a game you must outscore your opposition through the 9 innings played. • The team with the most points after 9 innings is deemed the winner. • In the event of a tie and extra innings is played until a winner has been concluded.
BASEBALL • The game lasts for 9 innings with each team batting and fielding once in each innings. • The scores at the end of the innings are added to a cumulative score and the team with most points wins. • Each team has three outs per innings before they then swap roles.
