Quick Summary
In baseball, an inning is a fundamental division of the game. Each inning consists of a turn at bat for each team. The defensive team aims to get three outs, after which the teams switch roles. When both teams have completed their turn at bat, the inning concludes. A standard baseball game is played over nine innings, with the team scoring the most runs declared the winner. If the score is tied after nine innings, extra innings are played to determine a victor.123
