Then the teams swap attack and defence.Nine inningsA normal game has nine innings. If the home team already leads after the top of the 9th, the bottom of the 9th is not needed.Extra inningsIf the score is tied after nine innings, the game continues into extra innings until there is a winner.Seventh-inning stretchAfter the visitors bat in the 7th, everyone gets a chance to stand, stretch and join the traditional ballpark sing-along.
