Baseball in the United States

Baseball is a sport played in the United States. It is played by two teams. Each team has nine players. Each team tries to score more points than the other team by hitting a small ball with bat and running around four bases set in a diamond shape. The first three bases are called 1st base, 2nd base, and 3rd base and then the last base is called the “Home Plate”. A player hits the ball and then tries to run to the other bases before the other team can get the ball and throw it. Whenever a player is able to run through all the four bases, they get one point. The team that gets the most points wins.
