BASE
BALL IS A BALL GAME for two teams of nine players.The
batter hits the ball thrown by the opposing team's pitcher
,into the area between the foul lines.He than runs round
all four fix bases in order to score a run.,touching or "
tagging" each base in turn.The pitcher must throw the ball at a
height between the batter's arm pits and knees,a height which
is called "Strike zone."A ball pitched in this area that
crosses over the "home plate" is called a " strike" ,and the
batter has three strikes in which to try and hit the
ball.(otherwise he is "struck out").
The fielding team tries to get the batting team out by catching the ball before it bounces, tagging a player of the batting team with the ball who is running between bases,or by tagging a base before the player has reached it .
Members of the batting team may stop safely at a base as long as it is not occupied by another member of their team
When the batter runs to the first base ,his team mate at first base must run on to second -this is called " force play" .
