Thus, the home team always has a chance to respond if the visiting team scores in the top half of the inning this gives the home team a small tactical advantage. As many innings as necessary are played until one team has the lead at the end of an inning. If both teams have scored the same number of runs at the end of a regular-length game, a tie is avoided by the addition of extra innings. If the home team is trailing or tied in the last inning and they score to take the lead, the game ends as soon as the winning run touches home plate however, if the last batter hits a home run to win the game, he and any runners on base are all permitted to score. If the home team is ahead after eight-and-a-half innings have been played, it is declared the winner, and the last half-inning is not played. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. regulation game A standard baseball game lasts nine innings, although some leagues (such as high school baseball) use seven-inning games.

Games that are stopped after they become official games count in the standings (unless the game is tied, in which case it is replayed from the beginning), and statistics compiled during the game are counted. The umpire declares "No Game," the game is played in its entirety at a later date, and statistics compiled during the game are not counted. If a game is called after play begins but before 4 1/2 innings have been completed (if the home team is ahead) or five innings have been completed (if the visitors are ahead or the game is tied), the game is not an official game. If a game is rained out before play begins, it is rescheduled for a later date. Games can also be delayed or canceled for other forms of inclement weather, or if the field is found to be unfit for play.
