In baseball, players score by hitting the ball and running the bases all the way back to home plate. Teams get nine innings to score before a winner is decided. If the score is tied after the ninth inning, they will go to extra innings.

A GIDP occurs when a player hits a ground ball that results in multiple outs on the bases. The most common double plays are ground balls where a forceout is made on the player running from first to second base, then another forceout is made on the batter running to first base.
H: Hits. Number of times a batter reaches first base (not on an error or fielders choice). It is awarded right after touching first base (e.g. a runner thrown out going for a double still records a hit). RBI: Runs Batted In. Number of runs that score as a result of that player’s at bat.
Top Two-Box Scores
Top-two-box scores include responses to the two most favorable response options. On five point likert-type scales this would include all agree response (“agree” and “strongly agree”). Top-two-box scoring is popular for rating scales with between 7 and 11 points.
A Top 2 Box score (sometimes called T2B) is a way of summarizing the positive responses from a Likert scale survey question. It combines the highest 2 responses of the scale to create a single number.
Number assignments. The original baseball numbers were based on the lineup. The starting players would be numbered 1-8, based on their spot in the order. The backup catcher would be number 9, and the pitchers would wear 10-14 (but not 13, as that is superstitious).
In the USA and GB, the winning team’s score is listed first unless specially stated otherwise. Thus, 15 to 10 is the normal way to report this score. An alternative way is to say something like Team 2 is trailing Team 1, 10-15.
Left on Base Percentage (LOB%), also known as Strand Rate, is one of the simpler advanced statistics to calculate. It is simply the number of base-runners that a pitcher leaves on base at the end of an inning divided by the total base-runners that they allow.
A box score is in balance (or proved) when the total of the team’s times at bat, bases on balls received, hit batters, sacrifice bunts, sacrifice flies and batters awarded first base because of interference or obstruction, equals the total of that team’s runs, players left on base, runners removed under playing rule …

This refers to when a team sends three batters to the plate in the inning and all three end up getting called out.
For sports scores, ’two two’ (or any other numbers), with equal emphasis on both words, is the clearest way. Sometimes the kind of point or goal is mentioned, and then you’d say ’two goals/points to two’, needing ’to'.
This refers to when a team sends three batters to the plate in the inning and all three end up getting called out.
The five most important basic rules in baseball are balls and strikes, tagging up, force outs, tag outs, and nine players allowed in the lineup.
The first inning was the highest-scoring inning 85 times, or nearly 87%. Of the 13 seasons where it wasn’t, six happened before World War II – so since 1945, the first inning had been the highest-scoring 91% of the time.
Definition. Slugging percentage represents the total number of bases a player records per at-bat. Unlike on-base percentage, slugging percentage deals only with hits and does not include walks and hit-by-pitches in its equation. Slugging percentage differs from batting average in that all hits are not valued equally.
