OK, so, from game played on TV, I see sometimes the "hitter" (don't kow if the term is correct) runs after hitting the ball while some other time, he does not, my guess is, he has to hit it right, so, he's eligible to run (run to the closest base? don't laugh if I'm wrong, I'm worse than a six years old on sports, and say, he reaches that base, when can he continues to run to next base?). Also again from TV, there seems to four bases. Now, since you said whichever team "runs" more wins, so, when can the other team start to run? I know it sounds real silly, bear with me. Thanks.
