Batting
The batter can be made to swing at
the ball using either the 1, 2 or 3 keys; the
effect will be the same with any key used.
If the batter swings in time, he hits the
ball. There are three types of hit balls; flies,
grounders, and fouls. A ball which goes
past the fielders counts as a hit, and both
batter and runners advance automatically.
There are four types of hits: single, double,
triple, and home run.
Running
X ..... Pressing this button starts the batter
running toward first base after he
hits the ball, and advances all base
runners at the same time.
