If you were to see a P5 that would mean the batter popped out to the third baseman. If you were to see an L5 that would mean the batter lined out to the third baseman. P means pop out and L means line out.

Roger Clemens twice, Randy Johnson, Kerry Wood, and Tom Cheney. Wood, Clemens, and Johnson all struckout 20 batters in a nine inning game. Cheney struckout 21 batters in a 16 inning game and holds the MLB record for most strikeouts by a pitcher in a single game.
None, each inning has a total of 6 outs so we would need at least 6 pitches, one per batter.
The highest number of batters that could bat during an inning where no runs are scored is 6. That would make for a maximum of 54 batters in a nine inning shutout.
Three batters must be out before their batting part of the inning is over. They get three more outs in the next inning. by monica

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.

Anytime a player is skipped in the batting order and it is recgonized then the batter whos spot they are in the lineup is ruled out. Therefore if you skip a batter in an inning and it is pointed out then the other 2 batters get out, you would have 3 outs with only 2 players actually batting. i.e, You are due up the 3rd, 4th, 5th spots in the lineup. When the inning starts, say #4 batter goes to the plate and receives a pitch (not put in play) --- the umpire or other team realizes your team "batted out of order" then the #3 batter would be ruled out (without ever coming to the plate), and your #4 batter would remain batting, say he flies out, #5 batter comes up and flies out --- 3 outs, only 2 batters
The home team would have to win the game. The home pitcher would face 27 batters and get 27 outs and the visiting pitcher would face 25 batters, getting 24 outs and allowing 1 to score somewhere between the first inning and the eighth inning. That would be 52 batters minimum for a 9 inning, 1-0 game.
this means the picher strikes out the three batters he faces in the inning.
