Easy as! Question in the Quizzes; 4. How many outs are there in an inning?
There are 2 teams, one goes in and the other goes out. The ones who are out try to get the ones who are in out. When all the ones who are in are out then they go out and the ones who were out go in. This goes until both teams have been in and out 3 times. The team that has been out the most loose.
