What is a "run"?

A run in baseball or softball is when a player successfully reaches home plate after moving around the bases. This is the main way a team scores points. To score a run, the player must touch each of the four bases in order, starting from home plate, and then return to home plate. A run is counted every time a player makes it back to home plate without being put out by the other team. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.
