Home run

The home run or big fly happens when the batter covers a circle through all bases in one play. It must be “cold” as the defensive team tries to commit errors or fouls. Its partners help it and sometimes make the ball fly between the foul poles or contact with one of them. The batter gets a hit record and RBI for each runner that scores, including itself.

There are two types of home runs. The first is out of the park. It supposes that the ball leaves the field without any returns by fielder or ricochet from the foul pole. If the batted wall hits the ground with a further bounce over the outfield wall, it’s an automatic double home run.

The infield home run happens when the ball remains in borders of the field. It has some risks because the batter itself and its preceding teammates are liable for outs. These events are rare and happen as the result of an outfielder’s injury or similar occasions.

If all bases are loaded and the batter hits the home run, the team gets a grand slam. The runners occupy all bases in a single play too rarely and these relate to the special home run situation together with walk-offs and back-to-back. The first happens in the bottom of the ninth inning or any extra inning. It usually turns the team to leading one and ends the game. Back-to-back home runs occur when to consecutive batters reach the home safely one after another.
