There are no "points" in baseball. The scores are called "runs" for the very reason that, in order to score, you must run. Even if you hit a home run, you still have to circle the bases for the run to count. In 1999, Robin Ventura hit a walk-off grand slam (a rare feat), but his teammates mobbed him before he could circle the bases, meaning the run didn't count.
Yes. Even when hitting a home run, the hitter must touch all three bases and home plate for the home run to count. Should the batter miss one of the bases when rounding them and the other team notices, the other team can appeal and have the hitter called out at the base the hitter failed to touch.
Yes they due. If it were any other hit, only the winning run or runs count.
If a batter hits a home run, he can automatically run around all the bases and the team gets a point. If there are any runners already on the bases, then they count as points too. This is why you can have two-run home runs and 3-run home runs. If the bases are loaded, and the player at bat hits a home run, then the team gets four points. This is called a grand slam.
It could if two bases had players on them, because 2+1=3
In baseball terminology, a grand slam is a home run hit when the bases are "loaded". Meaning that the home run is hit with runners on 1st, 2nd & 3rd base. The result is that 4 runs are scored. A home run normally occurs when a baseball is hit into the grandstands in fair territory. An "inside the park" home run occurs when the hitter can run all the way from home plate then around the bases and ends up back on home plate. It is not a home run if an error allows the hitter to run all the bases.
A circuit home run is a baseball term used to describe a home run where the batter hits all the bases without stopping. It is also known as an "inside-the-park" home run.
