Here's a breakdown of how an inning works:
- The visiting team sends one player at a time to bat, in a predetermined order, until three outs are recorded.
- The home team then sends one player at a time to bat, in the same order, until three outs are recorded.
- The teams switch roles, and the process is repeated.
- The game continues until nine innings have been completed, or until a team is ahead after eight innings and the lead cannot be overcome.
Innings are an essential part of the game of baseball, and understanding how they work is important for fans and players alike.
Thanks for the explanation, Task. It became easier to understand.
You once said it was complex, but when we start to understand it better, it becomes even more fun to assimilate everything about baseball.
Are you watching the game at all. The rain delay is over and it started.
