meaning of the sentence

Hello everyone,

I can’t understand this sentence well, it’s about baseball: A player who goes around all the bases scores a run for his team.

What does “bases” mean? “scores a run?”

Could you tell me this sentence in a simpler way, please?[/i][/b]

“bases” are markers on the field of play. See the diagram at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Baseball_diamond.svg

The players try to run all the way around the bases, returning to the start. When they do so, they “score a run”, which means that one point (run) is added to the team’s score.

Thank you very much,Dozy, for such clear explanation.:slight_smile:
