(This includes a dropped foul fly ball that is a routine play.)
Terminology cont. • Fielder’s Choice: • When the offense has runners on base and the batter hits the ball and one of the runners has a play made on them without the batter-runner being put out at first. • Batter-runner: • Batter after they have hit the ball • Sacrifice (Slow Pitch Softball): • Batter hits a fly ball that is caught by the defense player. The base runner tags up from their base and scores a run without an error being made. • When does the next inning begin: • The next inning begins upon the 3rd out being made in the previous inning.
