A walk off in Baseball is a home run in the bottom of the 9th that drives in more than the necessary amount of runs to win the game, thus allowing the batter to 'walk off' the field after reaching first base and before reaching home because his run is unnecessary.

Answer 5

A so -called walk off victory in baseball is created when the home team hits a single to a home run, that breaks a tie with the visiting team. In baseball, unlike some other major sports in the USA, the visiting team bats first, the home team bats second. Thus whenever there is a tie score in the 9th inning or in extra innings, the home team always bats last. Thus any run scored by the home team to break the tie wins the game. So a walk-off victory is produced if even a single drives in the last run.
