Correct Answer
B. Batter is outExplanation
When the batter hits the ball and it is caught in the air, the batter is considered out. This is a common rule in baseball, known as a "fly out" or "pop out". The opposing team's fielder catching the ball before it touches the ground means that the batter did not successfully hit the ball into play. Therefore, the batter loses their turn and is declared out.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Tag the base they are on before they advance to the next baseExplanation
Base runners must tag the base they are on before they advance to the next base. This means that they have to touch the base with any part of their body or with the ball in their possession before they can proceed to the next base. This rule ensures that the defensive team has a chance to make a play and potentially get the runner out if they fail to touch the base before advancing.Rate this question:

C. 1stExplanation
In baseball, a player can overrun first base. This means that if a batter hits the ball and reaches first base, they can continue running past the base without being tagged out. However, once the batter turns to go towards second base, they can be tagged out if the defense successfully gets the ball to first base before the batter reaches it again.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Batter gets another turnExplanation
The correct answer is "Batter gets another turn." When the ball is hit foul, it means that the ball is hit outside the boundaries of the playing field. In this case, the batter is not considered out, and instead, they get another opportunity to bat. This rule allows the batter to have a fair chance at hitting the ball within the boundaries and continuing their turn at bat.Rate this question:

Shortstop
- C.
Pitcher
- D.
First Baseman
Correct Answer
C. PitcherExplanation
In softball, the pitcher is the player who throws the ball from the pitcher's mound to the catcher to begin each play. The pitcher's role is crucial as they aim to deliver the ball in a way that makes it difficult for the batter to hit. The pitcher also plays a significant role in the defense by fielding ground balls and making plays. The catcher, on the other hand, is responsible for catching pitches, while the shortstop and first baseman are infielders with specific defensive responsibilities on the field.Rate this question:
