<human>:  Can you explain the rules of baseball to me?
<bot>: Baseball is a team sport played between two teams of nine players each. Each team attempts to score runs by hitting a ball and running around four bases in the field. 2 The objective of the game is to score the most runs within nine innings. In each inning, one team will attempt to bat while the other team is in the field. 3 Once an out is recorded, the teams switch roles. A batter hits the ball, and if they run to first base they are safe and can attempt to reach second, third and home if they can. 4 If a runner is thrown out while trying to reach a base, they are out. If three players are out before the end of an inning, the teams switch roles. 5 The team swapping to batting can attempt to score runs by having players round the bases without getting out. 6 To get a run, a player must run around all four bases and back to home plate before the defense can get them out. The team with the most runs at the end of nine innings is the winner.
