Ngicela unginike uhlu lwezinto eziyisisekelo ze-baseball
Context:I-baseball iwumdlalo odlalwa phakathi kwamaqembu amabili adlala ngayinye edlala abadlali abayisishiyagalolunye, abashayayo futhi abavikelayo. Umdlalo wenziwa ngezikhathi eziningana, umdlalo ngamunye uvame ukuqala lapho umdlali oseqenjini eliphonsa ibhola, obizwa nge-pitcher, ephonsa ibhola bese umdlali oseqenjini elishaya ibhola, obizwa nge-batter, ezama ukuyishaya ngesibhakela. Inhloso yeqembu elihlaselayo (iqembu elishayayo) ukushaya ibhola enkundleni yokudlala, kude nabadlali beqembu eliphikisayo, okuvumela abadlali bayo ukuthi bagijime izisekelo, babe nabo phambili ngokuphikisana newashi kuzungeze izisekelo ezine ukuthola amaphuzu abizwa ngokuthi "ama-run". Inhloso yeqembu elizivikelayo (elibizwa ngeqembu elifaka inkambu) ukuvimbela abashayi baba abagijimi, nokuvimbela ukuqhubekela phambili kwabagijimi bezungeza izisekelo. Umgijimi ufaka umgomo lapho umgijimi ehamba ngokusemthethweni ezungeze izisekelo ngokulandelana futhi ethinta ipulatifomu yasekhaya (indawo lapho umdlali aqala khona njengomdlali).  Umgomo oyinhloko wethimba elishayayo ukwenza umdlali afinyelele esisekelweni sokuqala ngokuphepha; lokhu kuvame ukwenzeka lapho umshayi eshaya ibhola futhi efinyelela esisekelweni sokuqala ngaphambi kokuthi umphikisi athathe ibhola futhi athinte isisekelo, noma lapho umshayi ephikelela ekujikijeleni ibhola ngaphandle kokufinyelela komshayi. Abadlali beqembu elishayayo abafinyelela isisekelo sokuqala ngaphandle kokuthi babizwe "ngaphandle" bangazama ukuqhubekela phambili ezisekelweni ezilandelayo njengomgijimi, ngokushesha noma ngesikhathi sokushaya kwabalingani beqembu. Ithimba elifaka amagoli lizama ukuvimbela ukugijima ngokwenza abadlali noma abagijimi "baphume", okubenza baphume enkundleni. I-pitcher ingakwazi ukukhipha i-batter ngokuphonsa ama-pitch amathathu okuholela ekushayweni, kuyilapho abakhi benkundla bengakwazi ukukhipha i-batter ngokubamba ibhola elibhekiswe phansi ngaphambi kokuthi lithinte phansi, futhi bangakwazi ukukhipha umgijimi ngokumfaka uphawu ngebhola ngenkathi umgijimi engathinti isisekelo.  Amaqembu aphikisanayo ayashintshana phakathi kokushaya nokufaka; ithuba leqembu elishayayo lokushaya liyaphela lapho iqembu elifaka lifaka ama-out amathathu. Ukushaya okukodwa kweqembu ngalinye kwakha i-inning. Umdlalo ngokuvamile uqukethe ama-innings ayisishiyagalolunye, futhi iqembu elinenani elikhulu lemidlalo ekupheleni komdlalo liyanqoba. Imidlalo eminingi iphela ngemva kwe-inning yesishiyagalolunye, kodwa uma amaphuzu eqondile ngaleso sikhathi, ngokuvamile kudlalwa i-inning eyengeziwe. I-baseball ayinaso isikhathi sokudlala, nakuba eminye imincintiswano inezimiso zokudlala ngesivinini esifana nesikhathi sokudlala ukuze kuncishiswe isikhathi somdlalo.
- I-baseball iwumdlalo odlalwa phakathi kwamaqembu amabili anabadlali abayisishiyagalolunye ngalinye, elishintshana ngokushaya nokugada. - Inhloso yalo mdlalo iwukushaya amagoli amaningi kunethimba eliphikisayo. - Amaphuzu atholwa yiqembu elishayayo kuphela phakathi nama-bat. Ngesikhathi ushaya uvunyelwe ukuphuma kathathu ngaphambi kokuba ushintshe neqembu elivikelayo. - Umdlalo we-baseball ojwayelekile uthatha ama-innings angu-9, kodwa kungase kube nama-innings engeziwe uma kunokufana.
