A baseball game is played between two teams, with nine players taking turns playing offense (batting and baserunning) and defense (pitching and fielding).
An inning consists of two turns by each team, one at-bat and one in the field. A game consists of nine innings (seven innings at the high school level and in doubleheaders in college, Minor League Baseball, and, since the 2020 season, Major League Baseball; and six innings at the Little League level).
Every inning, one team—usually the visiting team—bats in the top, or first half. Every inning, the opposing team—usually the home team—bats in the bottom, or second half. The goal of the game is for one team to score more points (runs) than the other.
The batters attempt to score runs by touching all four bases, which are set at the four corners of the square-shaped baseball diamond, in order.
A player bats at home plate and must attempt to reach a base safely before moving counterclockwise from first base to second base, third base, and back home to score a run. The team in the field attempts to prevent runs from scoring by recording outs, which remove opposing players from offensive action until their next turn at bat.
When three outs are recorded, the teams switch roles for the next half-inning. If the score is still tied after nine innings, extra innings are played to decide the game. Many amateur games, particularly unorganized ones, have varying numbers of players and innings.
