Wiremu: Softball Explanation

Softball

Softball is a hitting game. The game uses a bat to hit the ball, the player then needs to run the bases to score.  The rules of this game are sometimes complicated.  The game is played between two teams with 9 players on each team.  I really like playing softball with my Mum and Dad.

The aim of the game is to score more runs than the opposing team. You play on a diamond shaped field with a home plate and three bases. A batter tries to hit the ball and then run around the bases to try and score a home run by getting back to the home plate without getting out.

Some of the rules are:
4 balls constitute a walk.
3 strikes constitutes an out (strike out).
If the batter has a foul after receiving the second strike, the batter is out.

The national team of NZ is called the Blacksocks. They are the national softball team for New Zealand. My favorite player is Donny Hale.

At the beach

At the beach there is a lot of waves smashing against the shore. You can see small little rocks falling off the cliff. Swimming in the cold, wet water is fun.
