Baseball is played between two teams and each team has nine players. This game is played with a bat and ball. The ball is thrown by the pitcher to the batter. The batter hits the ball and then runs towards the base. The batter runs to the first base and runs in an anticlockwise direction. These bases are arranged at the corners of a square that is ninety square feet. The game has nine innings in all and in each inning both the teams have the chance to bat and score and half inning of the team ends when three batters are out.
