Baseball is a great spectator sport, and has been known as that since it was established. From tee ball to major league, it can be difficult to understand what the score to a game is. However, with a little patience and knowledge, you will be able to keep score of a baseball game with incredible ease!

  • Paper
  • Pen/pencil
  • Baseball game
  1. Step 1

    Watch a baseball game in its entirety. This means you watch from beginning to end.

  2. Step 2

    Create a list, which will be divided into two sections, one section per baseball team. Under the team names is where you will take note of the score.

  3. Step 3

    Whenever a baseball team has a player run to home, which is the base from where they start, or hit, from, then that counts as a 'score'. There are several ways of scoring, by a base hit or a home run.
