In the event of a tie, extra innings are played until a winner has been concluded. The team with the most points after 9 innings is deemed the winner. To win a game, you must outscore your opposition through the 9 innings played. A maximum of four points can be scored on one hit. Depending on how many players get around to home plate before being tagged will depend on how many points you score. So, every time a batter successfully makes it to first base, the other players on the second and third bases are able to trickle home, earning a point for their team each time. When you hear the phrase 'the bases are loaded', this refers to the instance where there is a player on every base.

Players can score multiple points from one hit if more than one player is already on one of the bases. A player can stop at any base if they feel they might not make it to the next base before being tagged out. A player can score a mandatory point if they hit a home run, which usually means the ball has left the playing area, often landing in the crowd. To score, a batter must hit the ball with the bat into the designated fielding area and make it around all four bases (before the fielding team is able to collect the ball and throw it to the base the batter is running to). The catcher (standing behind the batter to catch any balls missed) wears extra padding in their glove, along with leg guards, a body pad, and a helmet. The fielding team wear ‘mits’, which are basically an oversized glove to help them catch and pick up the ball. The ball is white with red stitching and is roughly 3 inches in diameter. The bats are made out of either wood, aluminium or metal materials. The batter must touch all bases before successfully scoring a run. The other three bases are known as first base, second base and third base. In the center of the infield is the pitching mound where the pitcher stands and throws the ball toward the batter. Separating the infield and outfield is a diamond shape with four bases, spaced at 90 feet apart each. The field is split into two sections: infield and outfield. Each inning can be broken down into the top (where the away team bats), and the bottom (where the home team bats). Each team has three outs per inning before they then swap roles. The scores at the end of the innings are added to a cumulative score and the team with most points wins. The game lasts for 9 innings with each team alternating between batting and fielding in each inning. A game is played out between two teams, each made up of 9 players.
