What is a "home run"?

A home run in baseball or softball happens when a batter hits the ball out of the playing field's boundaries, typically over the outfield fence, without the ball touching the ground. This allows the batter to round all the bases and return to home plate, scoring a run for their team. A home run is one of the most exciting plays in the game and is often a result of powerful hitting. It can also occur if the ball is hit inside the field but the fielder drops or fails to catch it, allowing the batter to keep running and score.
