It is the last inning of a game and it determines the outcome of a game.
That is when the home team is batting in the ninth inning. If the home team is ahead after the visiting team makes its three outs in the 'top' of the ninth (their turn to bat in the ninth inning) there is no bottom of the ninth because the game is over and the home team has won. If the home team is tied or behind the visiting team after the visiting team makes their three outs in the ninth inning, the home team comes to bat and it is called 'batting in the bottom of the ninth inning'.
Usually it's the ninth inning because that's when teams rally from behind.
3 per team IMPROVED ANSWER: In a normal 9-inning baseball game, "3 per team" would be correct. However, there are many games when both teams do not have to bat in the ninth inning, thus reducing the number of outs in that inning to zero for one of the teams (the case would apply to a home team that is leading after the other team registers 3 outs in the top half of the ninth inning). The home team would have won the game if still ahead after the other team bats in their half of the ninth. There is no need to bat in the bottom of the ninth.
A baseball game ends when there is the final out of the ninth inning. If the home team is winning, and they get three outs in the ninth, they win. If the score is tied after nine innings of play, they go into extra innings, which lasts until a team scores and holds the other team to scoring.
Bottom is the preposition word Phrase would be bottom of the ninth inning i think
The 1st inning and it last to the top of the ninth unless the away team is winning on the road, then the home team gets a shot at winning the game at the bottom of the ninth.
In America it is quite common to treat articles (the, a, an) as a part of speech.
In a standard baseball game, there are three outs per inning for each team, with nine innings played. If the home team is ahead after the visiting team has batted in the ninth inning, the game is over at that point (as there is no need for the home team to bat).
A baseball game can end when: # The home team scores the go ahead run in the ninth inning or later # The team with the lead records the third out in the ninth inning or later # The umpires decide to call the game on account of rain after at least 5 innings (four and a half if the home team is winning), one team has the lead, and the visiting team didn't take the lead in the top of an inning that wasn't completed.
3 outs per offensive at bat. 6 outs per inning since each team takes an offensive at bat. Unless it is the ninth or extra inning and the Home team is winning at the end of the Visiting team at bat. Then there is no need for a Home team at bat, Therefore there are only 3 outs in that inning.
