Factual Questions

This is an answer that could be used and is a little more easier for you to understand. Question: How is it possible for one team to send 7 batters to home plate in one inning and not score?
Answer: 3 one base( bases loaded) 2 pop outs, and the 6 batter gets injuried, (foul ball of body, foul ball while running to base, or whatever), then you send up a new batter, therefore 7 batters, now if he asked 7 new batters and 7 new counts, then you would be right, not to say that you are not now.

Or you can sen unlimited batters to the plate. Send batter up. He faces a pitch. Insert a pinch hitter. He faces a pich. Insert a pinch hitten. Rinse and repeat.

This can go on indefinitely if every subsequent pinch hitter manages to foul off 2-strike pitches and avoid a walk (or any other outcome which woul not continue the at bat).

Except that you would run out of the infinite supply of batters pretty early on. You’re only allowed 25 players and you must have nine fielders. Even if each batter fouls off a pitch (without a 3rd strike bunt), you wouldn’t be allowed to send up another pinch hitter after the 16th one. At that point, #16 leaves nine players left. If you sent up another, the game would be forfeit.

The answer (without having to rely on substitutes) is as follows:

3 hits or walks to load the bases
2 strikeouts. That’s five so far.
Player 6 hits a ball over the fence in fair territory (hold on, I’m not done yet). He circles the bases and all four players come home.
Player 7 comes to bat. The pitcher, however, throws the ball to first base on appeal, claiming that the would-be home run hitter did not touch first base. If the umpire agrees with them, then the would-be homer hitter is out and NONE of the runs score. (If he missed second, third or home plate, however, one or more runs would score and the batter would have credit for a hit of the value of the last base he touched safely.) This has to be done after Player 7 comes to the plate but before a pitch is thrown to him.

Seven batters step up to the plate, the inning ends, no runs score. How?
