If you baseball game is at the 7th inning how long until its over?

A baseball game ends when there is the final out of the ninth inning. If the home team is winning, and they get three outs in the ninth, they win. If the score is tied after nine innings of play, they go into extra innings, which lasts until a team scores and holds the other team to scoring.


Why are there nine innings in baseball?

Because in "rounders" you had to hit the ball and nine people had to round the base in order to win the game. either that or because there are nine players on the field at a timeAnswerIn 1845, a man named Alexander Cartwright, who was a member of the New York Knickerbocker Club, came up with a standardized set of rules for the game. The rules included four bases set 90 feet apart in the shape of a diamond, nine man teams, nine inning games, three outs to end an inning, three strikes to make an out, and a 45 foot distance from pitcher to home plate, and many others. Some of these rules have been amended over the years, many have not. There are 6 outs in an inning


In what year did baseball have the 9 strikes and 9 ball rule?

Strikeouts went from 4 strikes to 3 in 1888. The 1887 rule stated that if the third strike was a called strike, the batter would get a fourth strike. Walks went from 5 balls to 4 in 1889. Using the rules of the day, 10 batters hit over .400 in the 1887 season (walks were counted as base hits in 1887). Computing 1887 batting averages as they are done today, only 2 batters hit over .400.

What are the 5 major rules in baseball?

Well that's pretty generic. The old adage, three strikes and you're out is the best known rule of baseball. Otherwise, each team sends a batter to home plate to try to hit a pitch from the pitcher. If you hit it and someone catches it before it hits the ground, you're out. If it hits the ground, and they throw it to first base before you get there, you're out. If not, you're safe and stay on first base and the next batter comes up. And you keep going until the team at bat makes three outs. Then you change sides and the team in the field comes to bat. Pitches can be balls, not over the plate, or strikes, thrown over the plate. Three stirkes you're out. Four balls and you get a base on balls, called a walk, and can go to first base. The team whose players get all the way around the bases and come back to home plate the most times in 6 or 9 innings wins.

There are two outs - a player is at bat and he already has two strikes and two balls How many more strikes until the inning is over?

That depends on if this is the top or the bottom of the inning. If it is the bottom then only one strike will do the trick, unless this batter gets a hit then we can't know the answer. If it is the top of the inning then we cannot know the answer.


What is an inning in baseball?

An inning is when each team gets a turn to bat with 3 outs. The visiting team bats first in an inning, and once they have gotten out 3 times, then the home team takes it's turn to bat with 3 outs. Once the inning is over you move onto the next inning, until you've played the last one. They're 9 innings in baseball.

If the bases are loaded with two outs and the batter is hit in the hands in the act of swinging and cannot continue can he be called out and end the inning?

If the batter did not check his swing, (the bat came past home plate), a strike will be called. If he did check his swing, he will advance to first on a hit by pitch, scoring a run. In the former circumstance, the inning will be over if there were previously two strikes on the batter.
