1. How many strikes does a batter get at each at bat?

Explanation

In baseball, a batter gets three strikes at each at-bat. A strike is called when the batter swings and misses the ball, or when the pitch is in the strike zone and the batter does not swing. If the batter accumulates three strikes before hitting a fair ball, they are considered "struck out" and must return to the dugout. Therefore, the correct answer is 3.

2. How many bases are there in the game of softball?

Explanation

In the game of softball, there are four bases. These bases are placed in a diamond shape on the field, with one base at each corner. The bases are numbered in a clockwise direction, starting from home plate as the first base, followed by second base, third base, and finally fourth base, also known as home plate. Players must run to each base in order to score a run for their team.

3. How many outs does a team get in each inning?

Explanation

In baseball, each team gets 3 outs in each inning. An out is recorded when a batter fails to successfully reach a base before being tagged out or when a fielder catches a fly ball before it touches the ground. Once a team accumulates 3 outs, their turn to bat ends and the opposing team takes their turn. This cycle continues until the game is completed.
