A baseball game consists of plays that can be described as follows:

Play Description No advance An out where no runners can advance. This includes strikeouts, pop-ups, short flies, and the like.

Groundout Each runner can advance one base.

Possible double play Double play if there is a runner on first base and fewer than two outs.

The lead runner who can be forced is out; runners not out advance one base. If there is no runner on first or there are two outs, this play is treated as a “no advance.”

Long fly A runner on third base can score.

Very long fly Runners on second and third base advance one base.

Walk Includes a hit batter.

Infield single All runners advance one base.

Outfield single A runner on first base advances one base, but a runner on second or third base scores.

Long single All runners can advance a maximum of two bases.

Double Runners can advance a maximum of two bases.

Long double All runners score.

Triple Home run Note: Singles also include a factor for errors, allowing the batter to reach first base.
