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!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 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.

  4. Step 4

    Record the hits made by the team with either roman numerals, or numerically.

Tips & Warnings
  • You can take note of how the scores where made, though not necessary. For example, you can state as follows: 4 runs, by a grand slam.
  • You will keep score for extra innings as well.
  • Utilize internet sites, such as ESPN.com and other medias from radio and TV, for these will update scores that are accurate.
