In the game of Soft Ball, there are four bases on the in-field such as home base, first base, second base and third base. The player, standing on the pitcher plate throws the ball (under arm) to the batter standing on the home base. If the batter who is standing on the home base hits the ball using a slugger, he must compulsorily run to the first base. The team will get a run if the batter reaches the home base after touching the first, second and third bases. As soon as the first batsman leaves the home base the second batsman enters the home base for hitting. The batsman will be declared out if he fails to hit three legal balls. The batsman while taking a run can be declared out in three instances (Catch out, Tag out, fly out). One innings will be over if three batsmen are declared out. Each team gets two innings to play. The team which gets the highest score wins the game
