MLB – The Major League Baseball holds professional baseball matches. The game is divided in 9 periods which are even called innings. There are nine innings in a match and which ever team scores the maximum runs towards the end of the ninth innings is winner of the game.
The MLB game starts with the player throwing the ball towards the player who bats. Here the one who throws the ball is called the pitcher and the one who hits the ball is called batter. When the pitcher throws the ball towards the batter, the batter hits the ball and runs around the series of bases to score the runs. If he reaches successfully then he scores single, if he reaches second base then score is double, then to the third one it is known as triple. If he covers all the four bases and is back to the first one it is known as home run. But at the same time when the batter hits the ball and the ball is caught before it hits the ground then the batter is pronounced out. Also if the fielder tags the batter or tags the base the batter is trying to occupy then the batter is deemed out.
