made.
3 strikes and the batter is out.
4 balls and the batter walks to first base.
If the ball is caught the batter is out.
If the batter successfully hits the ball and reaches a base it is
called a hit.All runners on base can advance.
If the runner is tagged with the ball while running the bases
he/she is out.
A run is scored for each player who safely crosses home
plate.
The team that score the most runs wins!
