How To Keep Score

Looking for a great way to get closer to the action at Hadlock Field? Keep score using the scorecards on the next two pages!

Each defensive position is represented by a number 1-9, illustrated in the diagram above. Use the symbols in the table to the left to record what happens in each batter’s plate appearances. Use the position number to record which defensive player makes each out or error. If multiple defensive players touch the ball, write the position number of each player involved in the order that the players touched the ball. As the runner advances, fill in the basepaths to show how far he reached. If he scores, fill in the diamond. In the example scorecard on the right, Benintendi leads off with a walk, and then steals second base. Devers then hits a home run, scoring Benintendi from second base. Chavis hits a ground ball to the shortstop, who throws it to the first baseman to record the first out. Mars hits a single, and De La Guerra grounds out to the third baseman, who starts a double play to end the inning. In the second inning, Bradley leads off with a double.
