Every fielder has a number, and a scorer writes a play as the numbers of the people who touched the ball. “6-4-3” is a whole double play in five characters. Learn the numbers, try a chain, and print a card for the next game.

Runs in each inning. Leave an inning blank until it is played; an x means the home side did not need to bat.
Slide the innings sideways; the team and the R column stay put.

Marks: K strikeout (a backwards K: struck out looking) · BB walk (base on balls) · 1B 2B 3B single, double, triple · HR home run · F8 fly ball caught by the centre fielder · 6-3 ground ball, shortstop throws to first · DP double play · E5 error by the third baseman.
Writing each play makes you watch it: who fielded the ball, where it went, what happened next. It is also a sum you check yourself: the runs across a team’s line add up to the R column, and each team gets three outs an inning.
