The game follows standard baseball rules with separate batting, pitching, baserunning, and fielding phases. Players choose pitch types and locations, then switch to defense to control throws, fielding targets, and positioning. Matches progress inning by inning, with success depending on timing at the plate, pitch selection, and smart defensive play.
