How can you get 3 singles 3 triples in a inning without scoring a run?
Top half of the inning: B1 - single but gets picked off by the pitcher. One out. B2 - Triple but gets picked off by the pitcher. Two outs. B3 - Triple. B4 grounds out. Three outs and no runs in. Bottom half of the same inning: B1 - single but gets picked off by the pitcher. One out. B2 - triple but on the next pitch tries to steal home and is thrown out by the pitcher. Two outs.B3 - single but is thrown out on the next pitch trying to steal second base. Three outs and no runs in. ________________________________________________________________ This is my first time doing this so I'm not really sure how this all works. I just stumbled across this question and noticed that the answer above is incorrect so apparantly anyone can answer anything whether or not they are correct. Here's the CORRECT answer: B1 - hits a triple but gets thrown out at the plate, out 1. B2 - also hits a triple and is thrown out at the plate, out 2. B3 - safetly hits a triple. So far we've got 3 triples, 2 outs, and a runner on third. B4 - hits an infield single and runner on third does not score. B5 - also hits an infield single advancing B4 to second yet runner on 3rd is still unable to score. So far bases are loaded, 2 outs, 3 triples and 2 singles hit leaving the remaining single. B6 then hits a grounder (or line drive) that strikes one of the base-runners. The base-runner is automatically ruled "out" and the batter is automatically credited with a hit.

Can a pitcher throw to first base if the first basemen isn't on the base?
He doesn't HAVE to, he probably just does it as a sort of knee-jerk reaction - field a ball, throw it to first. It doesn't affect the play in any way. This answer is correct. In baseball, after an out is recorded with no one on base, the team will normally throw the ball around the infield and return to the pitcher by the thirdbaseman..It is more of a traditional ritual than anything else.
