The baseball game is very long. What if the players can't hold on?

"I can't feel it before training. I played and ran wholeheartedly in the game and really realized the fun and charm of the game! " Yin, reporter of Metropolitan Express, senior sports reporter. This is her speech. What sport can make her praise in the field of sports so knowledgeable? The answer is-baseball! "It's youth!" The first experience of baseball makes sports memory happy and enjoyable. The two teams in Shaoxing Olympic Sports Center are wearing baseball uniforms and carrying baseball bats on their shoulders. They strutted happily and shouted in the fields. The applause seems to be directed at the official competition. In fact, this is just a baseball friendly match between the Provincial Sports Journalists Association and the Provincial Baseball and Softball Association. Wearing a baseball cap, wearing a uniform, holding a baseball bat, professional dress and style! Under the leadership of Wang Hongbin and Lu Jun, coaches of the provincial baseball and softball association, the memory of the past has changed from "watching the ball off the court" to "playing on the court", and the pen in hand has become a bat. Although he is a rookie, he doesn't have stage fright at all-Li Xu hits the ball, speeds up running, defends and intercepts, defends desperately, and shouts back.

"Is it back to the feeling of youthful blood?" "Old arms and legs run well!" During the break, the reporters teased each other. Wan Ling, a reporter from the People's Livelihood Information Channel of Zhejiang Radio, spoke out everyone's voice. He said that the first experience of baseball was not only a game, but also an encounter. After the game, the two teams stood in a fan shape, high-fived each other and bowed to the coach and the audience. This detail was emphasized by coach Wang Hongbin before the game: Baseball needs not only hard-core fighting such as strength, speed and technology, but also humanistic ideas such as gratitude, humility and respect. It is entertaining and has educational significance other than sports. A formal baseball game has nine innings. Each game is divided into an upper game and a lower game. The two sides fought an offensive and defensive war, and finally decided the outcome according to the scores of both sides. As for the order of attack and defense, it is generally decided by drawing lots or according to the home and away games. Baseball rules are hastily introduced into infield and outfield. There are four bases in the infield, which are arranged counterclockwise from the bottom home plate as first base, second base and third base. There are nine defenders in a game and a half, namely pitcher, catcher, first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, left fielder, center fielder and right fielder.

But the attacker can only send one batter at a time, and the others stay outside and wait. In the official competition, if the scores of nine games are the same, you can enter overtime, and the number of overtime games shall be subject to the provisions of the General Assembly. Players' gloves vary according to their positions. For example, in order to prevent the batter from observing the way the pitcher holds the ball and judging the fairway, the pitcher's booth is sealed. Outfielders run a long distance and often have to catch the fly ball. In order to increase the probability of catching the ball, the outfielder's gloves are bigger than those of the infielder. Catcher must catch the pitcher's pitch as high as 130 km/h ~ 160 km/h, and sometimes he is hit by the batter's baseball, so catcher is the most closely protected of all defensive positions. Besides, batter is not absolutely safe. Sometimes opponents' pitchers make mistakes, often concede goals, and even hit their bodies or even their heads. So the batter needs to wear a batting helmet with ear protection. So how is baseball scored? First of all, we should understand that baseball, football and basketball are different, and the attack and defense conversion of the latter two is instantaneous, and defensive counterattack is an effective scoring method.

But for baseball, only the attacker can score in each half, and the only thing the defender has to do is to make the attacker score as little or even no points as possible. The attacker's batter can only stand in the hitting area next to the home plate when playing. When he successfully hits the pitcher's ball, he can throw away the bat and run to first base. At this time, his identity changed from a batter to a runner. He ran and ran, and finally got to first base. If he steps on it, he will be safe. Running behind first base? The attacker will serve the next batter, keep playing, keep running and step on second base. If you ride all the way back to home plate, you will get 1 point. As long as the attacker doesn't go out at half-time, the batters behind him will go to base in turn until they run back to home plate. However, it should be noted that each bottom bag can only have one chute. But once out, the batter or base runner can't stay on the court. If three people are out, regardless of whether there are offensive players in the base, they will immediately end the half-court game and exchange with each other.
