Emmaleigh raised her hand and said, "The b-batter would run to first b-base while the fielding team w-would try to get him out. to get the batter out, the f-fielding team would have to c-catch the ball before it hits the g-ground, or they would have to tag the batter or the b-base with the ball before he m-made it to the base." Was that it? yeah maybe. Baseball confused Emmaleigh.
