Zhang Yimei is a member of the Dumbo women’s baseball team. This amateur team is made up of baseball fans from all walks of life. Every Sunday, they will train together and organize intra-team competitions to learn about their skills. Sitting by the court, Zhang Yimei and team coach Xu Yuchen explained the basic rules of baseball to Commissioner Si Wenjia.
Baseball is divided into offensive and defensive sides, each team has 9 people, and the two teams take turns to attack and defend. During the game, the defender is on the court, and the players of the attacker go on stage in turn, hitting the ball thrown by the defender, then running along the four bases, and winning a point after successfully running a lap. Batters need to judge whether the ball thrown by the other side is a good ball or a bad ball before hitting the ball. Above the home plate vertically, the three-dimensional space from the knee to the armpit in the batter’s natural standing posture is called the "strike zone", and the ball thrown by the pitcher through this space is called the "strike" and vice versa. If the pitcher throws three good balls in a row and the batter doesn’t hit them, the batter is out. This is called "strike out". If the pitcher throws four bad balls in a row, the batter is walked to first base. When three players of the attacking side are ruled out, the attacking and defending sides exchange positions.
Zhang Yimei introduced that, generally speaking, the baseball game is divided into upper and lower innings, with a total of nine innings. If the scores of both sides are the same at the end of the ninth inning, the game will continue until the two sides win or lose. This special rule allows baseball games to last for a long time. Coach Xu said that in professional baseball games, there are cases of hitting more than twenty innings. "It’s very tight, and it’s difficult to score a point in baseball games."
