Baseball

Baseball is a sport in which two teams of nine players compete to score the most runs. The game consists of nine innings, each of which is divided into a top and a bottom half. In the top half of the inning, the road team bats while the home team pitches to them. Once three outs are recorded, the bottom of the same inning is played and the roles switch: the road team pitches while the home team bats. Runs are scored when a player on the batting team runs around all four bases on the baseball diamond. This is usually accomplished via hits, but can also occur on errors made by fielders, sacrifice plays, and even some outs can result in runs, depending on the circumstances.
