Baseball games can last awhile. If a game is tied after nine innings, extra innings are played.
Wow really? 9 is long enough already, I dont know much about baseball, can you inform me?
Definitely! Usually baseball games are 9 innings, however, softball and high school games are typically 7 innings..
Makes sense, gotta keep it a bit shorter snce they can take so long.
Haha yes, and the visiting team always bats first.
How does the game work exactly? Is scored based off how many people make a full run around?
Yes, and that is called a "run" actually. So you're on the right track. Players from each team hit a ball that is being tossed at them with a lightweight bat.
And the batter missing a swing is a strike right?
You are correct! Pitchers will aim for what is called the "strike zone", a space above home plate and between the batter's knees and torso.
