Most leagues that have time limits have a rule where the limit is determined based on the last out in the inning. This means if you are in the 5th inning and the bottom of the 5th ends with 1 minute left before time is up. You will play the entire 6th inning but that will be your last inning -- if the home team takes the lead in the bottom of the 6th the game will end just like any other game in the last inning
The pitcher who got the last out in the previous bottom of that inning. In other word, that pitcher can be credited with the win by making only one pitch. If I'm called in as a reliever and get a ground out to end the inning and then my team goes ahead in the top of the next inning, I would be the winning pitcher. Even if i only threw one pitch.
Allen Craig did this evening (7/21/12) pinch-hitting for the Cardinals in the bottom of the seventh against the Cubs. He hit two doubles in a 12-run inning.
Bottom of the 4thHank Aaron hit home run number 715 on April 8, 1974, in the bottom of the 4th inning off Dodgers pitcher Al Downing to break Babe Ruth's All time home run record.
I believe it was the Cinncinatti Reds vs. Phillies in a 2008-09 PHI home game. A 10 run bottom of 1st inning helped the Phils take a 22-1 victory!
The home team bats in the bottom of the inning.
6 outs make a complete inning in a baseball game.
If a game is called in the middle of an inning, but it is still a complete game (ie, the team that is behind when the game is called had five full innings to score runs), then all stats in that first half of an inning count.
Bottom is the preposition word Phrase would be bottom of the ninth inning i think
On a scoreboard, the visitor's inning by inning score is shown above the home team's score. So the visitor's score is on the top and the home team's is on the bottom.
They have to pitch the complete game...
Six, Three in the top of the inning and three at the bottom
There are a total of 6 outs per inning... 3 for the Visiting team (top half of the inning)... and 3 for the Home team (bottom half of the inning).
That is when the home team is batting in the ninth inning. If the home team is ahead after the visiting team makes its three outs in the 'top' of the ninth (their turn to bat in the ninth inning) there is no bottom of the ninth because the game is over and the home team has won. If the home team is tied or behind the visiting team after the visiting team makes their three outs in the ninth inning, the home team comes to bat and it is called 'batting in the bottom of the ninth inning'.
The situation that you describe is not possible because a pitcher who is starting at home would pitch the top of the inning, not the bottom. The home team always plays defense in the top of an inning and offense in the bottom of an inning. If the score is 0-0 in the top of the seventh and the team scores in the top of the seventh and does not give up the lead, the pitcher who was in the lineup in the bottom of the sixth when the final out was recorded will be awarded the win regardless of whether they pitch the bottom of the seventh.
With respects to the sport of baseball (which I believe is the root of your question), the term "top of the fifth" simply refers to the first half of the fifth inning during which the visiting team has the opportunity to bat. After the visiting team cycles through their allotted three outs, the inning enters the bottom of the inning. Each inning has both a "top" and "bottom" half. The actual term "top" or "bottom" of an inning stems from the placement of the score on either the top or bottom section of a scoreboard or scorecard.
Because some people forget that an inning consists of the top AND bottom of the inning. They just think of their portion.
