Zhang Yimei is a member of the “Dumbo” women’s baseball team. This amateur team is composed of baseball fans from all walks of life. They will train together every Sunday, organize intra-team games, and compare their skills. Sitting on the side of the court, Zhang Yimei and team coach Xu Yuchen explained the basic rules of baseball to Special Commissioner Si Wenjia.
Baseball is divided into two sides: offense and defense. Each team consists of 9 people, and the two teams take turns on offense and defense. During the game, the defending team is on the field, and the players of the attacking team come on the court in turn, hit the ball thrown by the defending team, and then run along the four bases. One point is awarded for a successful lap. The batter needs to judge whether the ball thrown by the opponent is a good ball or a bad ball before hitting the ball. Vertically above the home plate, the three-dimensional space between the batter’s natural standing knee and the armpit is called the “strike zone”. For “bad ball”. If the pitcher throws three strikes in a row and the batter misses, the batter is out, which is a “strikeout.” If the pitcher throws four in a row, the batter is walked to first base. When three players on the offensive team are ruled out, the two teams switch positions.
Zhang Yimei introduced that, generally speaking, a baseball game is divided into two innings, with a total of nine innings. If the score is the same when the nine innings are over, the game will continue until the two sides decide the winner. Such special rules allow baseball games to go on for a long time. Coach Xu said that there are more than 20 innings in professional baseball games.
