Baseball is a popular sport that has taken the world by storm, it originated in the United States and has a history of more than 100 years. In baseball, both teams compete for the win through offense and defense. Scoring is one of the key factors in determining the outcome of a match. So, what are the scoring rules for baseball?This article will introduce it to you in detail.
In a standard baseball game, there are nine innings. Each team attacks once per game, which is called a round. In a round, the goal of the offensive team is for the batter to hit the pitcher's throw and run back to home plate as much as possible to score. The goal of the defender is to prevent the attacker from scoring as much as possible.
The scoring rules for baseball games are as follows:
1.When a batter hits the ball successfully, he needs to run to first base immediately. If, on the run to first base, the defender does not touch the ball or touches the ball but fails to "stab" the batter before home plate, the batter is judged to have reached first base safely.
2.Next, the batter needs to keep running towards second base, third base, and home plate. Similarly, as long as the defender does not "stab" the batter before he reaches next base, the batter will be judged to have reached that base safely.
3.When the batter successfully runs back to home plate, the attacking team gets one point. This means that in this round, the attacking team has a total of four chances (first base, second base, third base, and home plate) to score.
4.If, during a round, more than one player on the offensive side runs back to home plate in turn, the offensive team will receive a corresponding number of points. For example, if an attacking player's player runs back to first base, second base, and third base in turn, the attacking team will get three points.
5.At the end of nine innings, the scores of both teams will be added together. The side with the higher score wins. If both teams score the same number of innings at the end of nine innings, the match will continue with additional innings until the winner is decided.
It is important to note that there are some special circumstances in baseball that can affect the score. For example, when a batter is hit by the pitcher three times during the strike (i.e., the pitcher makes three good throws in a row and the batter misses the hit), the batter will be ruled out and the attacking team will not be able to score in that round. In addition, when the defender successfully completes an "assassination" (i.e., touching the ball before the batter reaches next base and is dismissed), the offense cannot score in that round.
