How do the innings work in baseball?
In baseball, a game consists of nine innings. An inning is a period of play in which each team takes turns batting and fielding. The team that is batting tries to score runs by hitting the ball and advancing around the bases. The team that is fielding tries to prevent the other team from scoring runs by catching the ball, throwing out runners, and tagging runners with the ball.
Each inning begins with the top of the inning, in which the visiting team bats. The bottom of the inning begins when the home team bats. Three outs are recorded for each team in an inning. An out can be recorded when a batter strikes out, flies out, grounds out, or is thrown out at a base.
The game ends when all nine innings have been played. If the score is tied after nine innings, extra innings are played until one team wins.
