To be able to win the game, a team must score more runs than its opponent. A run is scored when a team is able to run along the four bases on the diamond-shaped field. As usual, the one that scores greater is the winner at the end of the game. One inning is counted per batting turn of a team. Technically, there should be up to nine innings in every game. The pitching team could prevent the batting team from scoring through catching the ball before it could touch the ground, touching base before a runner gets there, or touching the runner using the ball before he gets to any base. Force plays happen when the batter hits a ball and then runs to the first base, prompting the base runner ahead of him to advance to the next base. To get any runner out of the game, the infielder needs to hold the ball and tag the base ahead of the target runner. There is a need for the pitching team to go to a base first before a runner does. A strikeout happens when three strikes are called on the hitter. Ground out happens when the batted ball touches the ground before being caught by a fielder and is thrown to the first baseman. Fly out, on the other hand, happens when the batted ball is caught by a fielder before it touches the ground. Players in pursuit of the same fly ball can communicate by calling, I've got it" or "You take it." 4.
