From BoardGameGeek
Hits & Outs (ヒット&アウト) is inspired by the strategic battle of wits between the pitcher and the batter. Reproducing baseball's thrilling moments without having to keep track of player statistics or the results of every pitch. As the name suggests, there are no balls or strikes in this game, only hits and outs! In each inning, players take turns at the plate and on the mound. When batting, you get hits and can move your runners by correctly guessing the base where the pitcher has hidden the baseball. If the ball was hidden at second base and you find it, you hit a double and can move your runners two bases. When pitching, keep the batter from reaching base and scoring runs by fooling them three times. Each incorrect guess is an out. The player with the most runs at the end of the game wins! -description from the designer
