the goal of baseball is to score more
runs than the other team the team that
scores the most runs by the end of the
game wins to score a run first try to
hit the ball with a baseball bat when
the pitcher throws it to you if you miss
the ball you get a strike and once you
get three strikes you're out when you
hit the ball run counterclockwise around
the three bases and back to the home
plate you started at if you make it back
without getting out you score a run for
your team if you can't make it all the
way back you can stop at 1st 2nd or 3rd
base and wait for the next player on
your team to bet then if they hit the
ball you can continue running along the
bases toward the home plate keep in mind
that the other team will be trying to
get you out while you're running the
bases there are three ways they can do
that first
if the other team picks up the ball and
beats you to your base with it you're
out
second if a player on the other team is
holding the ball and they tagged you
with it that means you're out finally if
you hit the ball and the opposing team
catches it in the air you're out once
your team has three outs move to the
outfield and try to stop the other team
from scoring runs by getting them out
after each team has gone up to bat
that's the end of the first inning in
the official rules there are nine
innings in a baseball game since there
are no ties in baseball keep playing
additional innings if necessary until
one team wins
