baseball - how many hits can one team get in one at-bat series (one inning) without scoring one run?

Question

explain your answer. first correct answer with accurate explanation wins points.

Answer 1

You could get 6 hits. The first three load the bases. Each of the next three hits would drive a man home, but each man would be thrown out at home plate. Bizarre scenario.

Answer 2

Would say 6 hits. 3 Singles to load bases. Pick off runner at 3b. Single to reload bases (4 hits). Pick off runner at 3b again (2 outs). Basehit (5 hit), reloading the bases. Then batter hits a ball that hits a baserunner that has not been touched by defensive player. Runner is out and Batter is credited with a single (6th hit).

Answer 3

Well 3 could get the bases loaded, then someone could ground into a 5-2-3 double played leaving a guy on second. so then two hits could happen but more then likely one would score atleast 1 run so i am going with 4 hits is the most possible without a run scored.

Answer 4

Please, you've were given to be kidding, you do not recognize how demanding it really is to play baseball at that importance. gamers get on base, yet not plenty because hitting a baseball would not ensue that oftentimes. extra scoring will water down baseball, and besides the pitchers are too sturdy and sturdy pitching beats sturdy hitting, so as long as pitchers throw nasty sliders and ninety mph fastballs, hitters at the on the spot are not likely to hit .500 in a season. in case you want baseball, why do you want to regulate how this is performed, you at the on the spot are not a actual fan.

Answer 5

The correct answer is 5, as it was determined by Casey Stengel in the 1930s that a team could give up 45 hits in a game and not give up a run! The number of possibilities is huge, one was mentioned a couple of messages ago....Here's some more

#1
Batter A hits a single - 1 hit
Batter B hits a single, Batter A moves to 2nd - 2 hits
Batter C hits a single, Batter B advances to 2nd, Batter A advances to 3rd (but gets greedy and tries to score and is thrown out at home) - 3 hits, 1 out
Batter D hits a single, Batter C advances to 2nd, Batter B advances to 3rd (but gets greedy and tries to score and is thrown out at home) - 4 hits, 2 out
Batter E hits a single, Batter D advances to 2nd, Batter C advances to 3rd - 5 hits, 2 out - at this point the next batter will score a run with a hit, or create an out

#2
Batter A hits a single - 1 hit
Batter B hits a single, Batter A moves to 2nd - 2 hits
Batter C hits a single, Batter B advances to 2nd, Batter A advances to 3rd (but gets greedy and tries to score and is thrown out at home) - 3 hits, 1 out
Batter D hits a single, Batter C advances to 2nd, Batter B advances to 3rd (but gets greedy and tries to score and is thrown out at home) - 4 hits, 2 out
Batter E hits a single, Batter D advances to 2nd, Batter C advances to 3rd (but gets greedy and tries to score and is thrown out at home)- 5 hits, 3 out

#3 (and not all the hits need to be singles)
Batter A hits a triple - 1 hit
Batter A tries to score on a wild pitch, but the pitcher covers the plate and tags him out - 1 hit, 1 out
Batter B hits a single, - 2 hits, 1 out
Batter C hits a single, Batter B advances to 2nd - 3 hits, 1 out
Batter D hits a single, Batter C advances to 2nd, Batter B advances to 3rd (but gets greedy and tries to score and is thrown out at home) - 4 hits, 2 out
Batter E hits a single, Batter D advances to 2nd, Batter C advances to 3rd - 5 hits, 2 out - at this point the next batter will score a run with a hit, or create an out

You get the picture I'm sure. In scenario #3, he could have tried to steal home and not made it.

In scenario #1, Batter A could have led off with a double, anf got caught stealing 3rd

In scenario #1, Batter A could have led off with a double, advanced to 3rd on Batter B's single, but got greedy and got thrown out at home

In scenario #1, Batter A leads off with a double, Batter B hits a pop-up that falls in (a base hit), Batter A has to tag up to make sure the ball isn't caught, and then when the ball drops heads for 3rd but gets thrown out because he's slow.

In scenario #1, Batter A doubles, Batter B doubles, and Batter A is thrown out at the plate.

A huge number of scenarios exist where the first 5 batters get hits.

Answer 6

Who's on first?

Answer 7

Five.

Keep in mind fielder's choices don't count as hits
Single, runner on first, no outs.
Caught stealing, one out, bases empty.
Single, runner on first, one out
Caught stealing, two out, bases empty
Single, two out, runner 1B
Single, two out, runner 1B 2B
Single, two out, runner 1B 2B 3B
Strikeout, end of inning

There ya go. five hits

Answer 8

single single single out at third out at second single single so 5
