End of an Inning

When the team batting has made three outs, a slash is drawn diagonally across the bottom right hand corner of the last batter in the inning. However, be aware that if the last batter of the inning did not make the final out (for example: a base runner was caught stealing), that batter does not get credited with an at-bat and will lead off the next inning.

In this situation, the batter up last in the inning would be treated as if he never got up. And a diagonal slash is written across the bottom of the cell of the batter before him. In the cell of the runner caught stealing, the appropriate “Caught Stealing” data would be entered. And finally. the number “3” in a circle is entered in the top right hand corner (of the runner) to signify the “CS” caused the third out.
