<  Some time ago I read an article about "The Sporting News" that said that
<  it was written for the type of baseball fan that "knows how a pitcher

<  in an inning but not score any runs."  I know how a pitcher can get
<  four strikeouts, but I can't figure out how a team can have a six
<  hit scoreless inning.  Can anyone explain this to me?

How about this:

Batter 'A' singles
'B' singles, 'A' goes to second
'C' singles, 'A' thrown out trying to score, 'B' to second.
'D' singles, 'B' thrown out trying to score, 'C' to second.
'E' singles, 'C' stops at third (he's scared), 'D' to second.
'F' singles, tries to stretch into a double.  Is thrown out
before 'C' scores.

I'm sure there are other ways like passing a runner before
guy from third scores or a line shot that hits the guy on third 
in fair territory (HE's out, but batter gets a hit).
