The batter cards indicate if the batter will take the pitch without swinging, swing high or low, or try for a bunt. If there is a runner on base the batter can play a Steal card, which the pitcher may have countered by playing a Pick Off card. Both cards are revealed and the type of pitch and the type of swing are compared to determine the result. This can be a hit, walk or strikeout. A walk sends the batter to first and advances the other runners if neccessary.
Strikeouts bring in the next batter and outs end the inning.
If a hit is indicated then a spinner is consulted. Batters are ranked as weak, average or strong hitters and are either left or right handed. This information is considered when reading the spinner. This places the ball at one of the dots on the board. The results of the hit depend on the distance the ball lands from the nearest fielder.
