Final answer:
The exercise matches baseball terms with their definitions, covering key concepts like scoring runs, types of hits, and strategic plays such as sacrifice bunts and steals.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's match each baseball term with its correct definition:
Scoring a run is when a runner touches home plate (c).
Sacrifice bunt is when a batter lays down a bunt to force the defense to throw to first base, allowing another runner on base to advance to the next base into scoring position (i).
Passed ball, wild pitches, and throwing errors occur when a catcher, pitcher, or fielder makes an error and allows a runner to advance (a).
Sacrifice flies occur when a batter hits the ball into the air, and a runner on base can legally try to go to the next base, but only after the ball has been caught by the fielder (k).
Scoring position refers to when a runner is on second or third and could score if the ball is hit hard or fast enough (j).
Fielder's choice is when the defense has a choice of which player to get out. For example, a fielder may choose to get the runner going to third rather than the runner going to first (f).
Singles, doubles, triples, or homeruns are types of hits in baseball or softball (d).
Grand slam is when a batter hits a home run with the bases loaded, scoring four runs total (b).
Walks happen when a batter gets 4 balls thrown to him or her, or gets hit by a pitch (h).
Advancing the runners involves moving the runners from one base to the next (e).
Stealing a base occurs when a runner tries to advance to the next base while the pitcher is throwing to a batter (g).
This matching exercise helps students understand various concepts and terms related to baseball, an important part of a physical education curriculum.
