home runs

A home run occurs in baseball when a batter hits the ball out of the field of play in fair territory, allowing them to round all bases and score without stopping. This usually happens when the ball clears the outfield fence, making it impossible for the fielders to catch or retrieve quickly. Home runs are a significant offensive achievement, often boosting a team's score by one or more runs, especially if other runners are on base. They showcase both the hitter's power and timing, contributing to the excitement and strategy of the game.
