Re: 4 strikes

	Actually it is possible for a batter to get, under very unusual
circumstances, up to 5 strikes.  The possible situation is:

1.  Runner (B1) on 1st (2nd, 3rd).

2.  2 Outs.

3.  Batter (B2)  get 2 strikes and then runner is thrown out attempting to
steal next base.

4.  B2 will lead off the next inning and if he strikes out he will have
gotten 5 strikes.
