    - DEFENSE- 5 infields(pitcher, catcher,
    1st, 2nd, 3rd base, shortstop)
    - 3 outfields
    - OFFENSE- arranged lineups for
    batting

    knees to his chest.( 3 strike- OUT)
    Strike- Batter swings and misses
    -batter hits the ball into foul
    territory
    Balls- the pitcher throws the pitch and
    misses strike zone. (4 Ball- FREE RUN)
    3. STRIKE OUT
    - after 3 strikes the batter is out.
    However, a better cannot strike out on a
    foul ball. If he hits a foul ball with two
    strikes, the count remains the same.
    4. TAG OUT
    - when the ball is in play, any
    defensive player may tag a base runner
    when he is off the base to record an out.
    5. CATCH

    play, and any member of the defense
    catches it in the air, then the batter is out.

    caught in air, the defense may field the ball
    and touch first base before the batter
    reaches the first base to record the out.

    the catcher while he attempts to swing at a
    pitch, the batter is awarded first base.
     DROPPED THIRD STRIKE
    -if a batter swings and misses at a
    pitched ball for the third strike, but the catcher
    drops the ball or bounces away, the runner
    may attempt to run to the first base. If the
    batter reaches the first base before the catcher
    can tag him out or make a force-out, then the
    batter is safe.
     FIELDER’S CHOICE
    - if the batter hits a pitched ball into
    play and the defense chooses to tag or
    force-out another base runner instead of
    the batter , then it is considered as the
    fielder’s choice.
