That is when two teams play two games on the same day.

Some years ago, teams would play several double headers a year. There would be a 20-30 minute break between games. You bought one ticket and were able to watch two games. Many would be on Sunday and it would be a great time for a family to spend a day at the ballpark watching Baseball. Some would be what was called 'twinight' double headers. The first game would start around 5 o'clock or so, there would be a 20-30 minute break between games, and the second game would end late in the evening.

Today, teams don't do that any more. If there is a double header, it is usually what is called a 'day-night' double header. This is when a game is played starting around 11 AM or noon. After the game, the park empties and the second game starts at the usual time a night game starts. If you want to watch both games, you must buy two tickets.

when the ball comes to anyone and there are already opponents on 1st, 2nd , or 3rd and they through the ball to first base, get them out, then in the same play through the ball at third and that gets that person out too. so you have two outs which is a double play.

A double out or double play is when there are 2 outs made in one play. It can only happen if there is at least one runner on base before the ball is hit. During the play either 2 runners are called out, or the hitter and one runner is called out. There are many different ways to do this.

A single is when the batter hits the ball and only advances to first base. A double is the same thing but he advances two instead of one ending up on second base.

The batter hits a ball where ever, and he passes 1st and then stops at second
