One person gets to pitch by choosing good and bad pitches, trying to strike out his opponent who either swings or doesn't. A swing at a good pitch results in a batted ball (not necessarily a hit) and a swing at a bad pitch is a strike. Not swinging at a good pitch is a strike, not swinging it a bad pitch is a ball. If the batter hits the ball, they choose either a "Bases Empty" card or a "Base Runners" card. There are little tokens you can move around the bases. The cards have baseball situations on them such as "Fly out to left" or "Long double, runners advance 3 bases." You can even try to steal if you wish, by drawing a "steal" card. It's actually quite fun if you like baseball. We played a full nine innings and I won 7-4.
The scoreboard has wheels to turn to show the number of strikes, balls, outs and runs. The cardboard scoreboard originally had tabs that fit into slots on the game board, but they broke off so my dad attached a wooden stand for it. There used to be sticks that fit into the circles to move the pitch choice and batter knobs, but those broke too so we just push the knobs. It works! Have you ever seen this game? I sometimes use the cards from it when we have a baseball review game in Sunday School.
