A Game of Baseball
by Katie Clark
If a player on base gets tagged, they are considered out. If a player hits the
ball and the other team catches it, the batter is considered out. When a team gets
three outs it is time for the teams to switch places.
The team in the outfield works together to pitch, catch the ball, and tag
runners out. They want to keep the opposite team from scoring runs or making
points.
These rounds are called innings. There are nine innings in a game.
The game of baseball is played with a bat and a ball. There are also gloves,
bases, and a pitcher’s mound.

If the batter hits the ball and it stays inside the bounds, the player can run to first
base. If the ball hasn’t been recovered by the other team when the batter gets to first
base, the batter can try to make it to second base. The batter tries to make it to first,
second, and third base before running all the way to home base.
When a batter hits the ball all the way past the outfield it is called a home run. The
player gets to run to all the bases without fear of being called out. It is an automatic
point for the team.
