From the 2006 book, The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated, by David Nemec, I will present Rule 2 of the Code - the definitions of baseball terms - over the course of the 2012 baseball season. Today’s terms are: Regulation Game, Retouch, Run/Score, Rundown, Runner.
Regulation Game – consists of nine innings, unless extended because of a tie score, or shortened because the home team needs none of its half of the ninth inning or only a fraction of it, or because the umpire calls the game.
Retouch – the act of a runner in returning to a base as legally required.
Run/Score – the score made by an offensive player who advances from batter to runner and touches first, second, third and home bases in that order.
Rundown – the act of the defense in an attempt to put out a runner between bases.
Runner – an offensive player who is advancing toward, or touching, or returning to any base.
