Well, you need to score runs to win, but one lucky swing can give you a homer. So if you look at it this way, if out of 27 batters, one hits a home run, you're ahead 1-0 if the other team doesn't score, which a good D will prevent. Also, Baseball is the only sport in which the DEFENSE controls the ball, so I'd go with defense, if you hold them at zero, you'll eventually score.
it begins with a first inning and it goes on...
