hit it with a bat. The hit should try to direct the ball
to any valid area of the field, without the players from the other team
they can catch her.
● After batting like this, the batter drops the bat and will try to
traverse the perimeter of the diamond, base by base. If you manage to traverse it and
return to the home, your team earns a career.

He/She must return to the bench (dugout) and another player bats.
● When three offensive players are eliminated (out), the offensive turn of the team ends.
The team goes on the defensive and the opponent vice versa.
● 3. Nine players per team. When the team is on offense, each of the players
receives a consecutive opportunity to bat and then score a run by running the bases.
● The ball must be caught in the glove and with both hands.
● 5. There is no tie. If they finish tied after nine innings, an extra inning is played until
break the tie.
