1. If two teams are tied at the end of nine innings, what is the name of the period you go into?

Answer: extra innings

The highest number of extra innings played in professional baseball in the 20th century was 24, in a game played between Rochester and Pawtucket. It was played on April 18, 1981.
2. Who keeps score?

Answer: Scorekeeper

"K" means strike, and "BB" means walk, when keeping score. They also keep track of the balls and strikes for each player.
3. In baseball and softball, who usually gets to bat first?

Answer: The away team

The two teams switch between playing offense and defense. Offense is batting and defense is fielding.
4. Do fastpitch softball pitchers pitch over arm?

Answer: No

Only baseball pitchers pitch over arm. Baseballs are also heavier than softballs and the diameter of a softball is larger.
5. Who is usually in charge of the team?

Answer: coach

The coach has a lot of responsibilities, including deciding the batting order. In Major League Baseball, the main coach is called the manager.
6. How many innings are in a standard MLB (Major League Baseball) game?

Answer: 9

They can go into extra innings, but 9 is the usual number. Little League games and other younger teams can have less, depending on the age level and league.
7. The ________ calls balls and strikes.

Answer: umpire

Umpires have to go to training so they can learn how to be a good umpire. They must know where the strike-zone is and be fair to both teams.
8. A softball is round.

Answer: True

The ball has seams on it that are raised. Baseballs are usually white. Softballs can be white or yellow.
9. How many outs are in a half inning?

Answer: 3

3+3=6. That is how many outs are in a full inning. After 6 outs, it is the next inning.
10. Which one of these is not a position of defense in baseball?

Answer: Batter

The batter is offense. A catcher stands behind the batter to catch any balls from the pitcher that get through. Defense keeps the other team from scoring, which is very important.
