Do Softball innings have a top and bottom?

Yes they do, just as in baseball. The visiting team bats during the top of an inning. The home team bats during the bottom of an inning.


What does the bottom of an inning mean?

Major League Baseball consists of 9 innings, with each team alternating their at-bat. The Visiting team bats first, which is the top of the inning, and continues batting until 3 Outs have been recorded. The Home team then bats, which is the bottom of the inning, and continues until 3 Outs have been recorded. Then the Visiting team would bat again in the top of the second inning, and the game would continue that way until 9 innings have been played, or 8-1/2 innings if the Home team is ahead after the Visiting team has completed their at-bat in the top of the 8th inning.


What isTop of an innings in baseball?

in baseball an inning is split into top and bottom because of the way the scoring is (check it out if you ever go to a pro like game). the top of an inning is when the away team bats and the home team fields. it's vice-versa for the bottom.


What is the most at bats for a team in an inning?

There is no limit


Where did the terms top and bottom of an inning come from?

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.


What happens in a tie bottom of the ninth 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'.


In baseball How many outers in an inning?

Each team bats for a half-inning, and each team gets 3 outs. 6 outs in a full inning.


What does top of the fifth mean?

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.


Who plays first in the first inning of baseball the home team or the visiting team?

I think you are asking who "Bats" first? The Visiting team bats first at the top of the inning for each inning with the Home team playing the field. After 3 outs they switch. Unless there is a tie they play for 9 innings (8 and a half if the home team is leading at the top of the 9th inning).


If a baseball game is stopped due to rain in the top of an inning can it be an official game?

In MLB, the team that is losing must have five full innings of at bats for the game to be complete. If the home team is ahead, the game can be called in the bottom of the fifth inning and it would be considered complete since the visiting team, who is losing, has had five full innings of at bats. If the home team is losing, the game can be called in the top of the sixth inning and it would be considered complete since the home team has had five full innings of at bats.


How many outs are there in a winning?

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).


How many outs are in a baseball inning?

3 per team IMPROVED ANSWER: In a normal 9-inning baseball game, "3 per team" would be correct. However, there are many games when both teams do not have to bat in the ninth inning, thus reducing the number of outs in that inning to zero for one of the teams (the case would apply to a home team that is leading after the other team registers 3 outs in the top half of the ninth inning). The home team would have won the game if still ahead after the other team bats in their half of the ninth. There is no need to bat in the bottom of the ninth.
