What happens in a tie bottom of the ninth inning?

Answer 1

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'.

Answer 2

If the game is tied at the end of the 9th inning, it continues to the 10th inning, and further if necessary, until there is a winner. That's one of the great things about Baseball...it's timeless.

Answer 3

There are many phrases in sports, baseball included. The phrase bottom of the fourth refers to the end of the fourth inning.

Answer 4

The bottom or top of the ninth.... INNING! It's both!
