There are many different ways to score a game. It is really all up to how you choose to do it. I will list examples of how I was taught to score a game and also show other forms of scoring the same play.

If a ball is hit into the gap and you are unsure of how to score the part of the field where the ball was hit, here are a couple of ways to help score it:

- Which fielder actually fielded the ball or made the first attempt at fielding the ball.
- What part of the field or which fielder was the ball closer to? This usually applies to home runs. Try to use the fence as a measure or which fielder was closest to the ball when it went over the fence when scoring this play.

*Line Outs and Pop Outs: I was taught that you can only line out or pop out to the infield. Anything caught by an outfielder is considered a fly out. This is not the rule though. The scorer can score pop outs to the infield as fly balls. You can also score line outs however you see fit.

Examples: Fly Out to SS: F- 6/ Line Out to CF: L- 8


Fielders Choice is scored by the fielder(s) that make the out.

Example: DeWitt reached on fielder’s choice, Jones out at second- SS to 2B. Here is how that is scored: DeWitt: FC 6-4.

Caught Stealing is scored by the fielder(s) that make the out.

Example: Kemp caught stealing- C to SS. Here is how that is scored: CS 2-6.

Picked Off is scored by the fielder(s) that make the out.

Example: Kemp picked off at first base- P to 1B. Here is how that is scored: PO 1-3.

Double Plays are scored 2 different ways.

Example: Loney grounds into double play, Martin out at second- 2B to SS to 1B. Here is how that is scored: GiDP 4-6-3.

Example: Martin hit into double play, Ethier out at first base- SS to 1B. Here is how that is scored: DP 6-3. This applies to line drives, fly balls, or pop outs that result in a double play. In this example, Martin didn’t hit a ground ball or else it would have been scored like Loney’s above play.

Triple Plays are scored by the fielder(s) that make the out.

Example: LaRoche hit into triple play, Martin out at third base, Loney out at second base, LaRoche out at first base- 3B to 2B to 1B. Here is how that is scored: TP 5-4-3.
