Super Baseball [Model CX26152]

The fielder closest to the ball automatically makes the play. Begin moving the fielder into position, using the joystick handle, as soon as the ball is hit.

If the ball is thrown away, the runners don't advance. Play is delayed until the appropriate fielder picks up the ball and throws it back to the pitcher.

When throwing the ball to an infielder, picture the joystick as sitting in the middle of the baseball diamond. When the handle is in the center position, pushing the fire button throws the ball to the pitcher; home plate is down from the pitcher; first base is to the right of the pitcher; second is up from the pitcher; and third base is to the left of the pitcher.

Remember to select a pitch before you release the fire button. If you release the fire button without having selected a pitch, it's counted as an intentional ball.

As in a real baseball game, the team with the highest number of runs after nine innings wins the game. However, if the game is tied at the end of the ninth, it could be a long day at the old ballpark.
