About games

As with a real baseball game, the player and COM opponent will switch between batting and pitching after three outs and decide the winner by fighting it out over the number of innings set in the options. Settings for the number of innings, extra innings and called games can be changed in the options. When extra innings are set off in the options, a draw will result if both teams' scores are tied at the end of the final inning. Please note that if you quit a game midway via the pause menu, the next time you play the game will start from the beginning.
