if a pitcher throws a ball that does not cross home plate between the batter's armpits and knees.

When a pitch is made, it will be hit, or be a strike or a ball. In baseball, the strike zone is the volume of space through which a pitch must pass in order to count as a strike(if the batter does not swing). The strike zone is defined as the volume of space above home plate and between the batter's knees and the midpoint of their torso. Whether a pitch passed through the zone or not is decided by an umpire, who is generally positioned behind the catcher. If the ball is not hit, and it is not a strike, it is a ball.

Baseball regs confuse me but, 5 complete innings is the magic number for a "regulation" game and allowed to be "called" by the umpire. Before 5 full, it's replayed from the start (not a "called" game). Here's where it gets confusing and I'm not sure - after 5 full, the home team always deserves it's bottom half inning to complete if they're trailing so if weather interrupts play, the game is "suspended" until it can be resumed from that point even on another date and with substitute players if needed. Not certain, but makes sense. [Love the game, hate the ridiculous salaries - just spoils it for me, unless I were one of them maybe].

When at least 4.5 innings have been played. Depending on who's winning at that time.
