The first two batters get on base with hits and both get thrown out trying
to stretch their hits another base. The following three batters get hits
(possibly all singles) to load the bases. The final batter in the inning
hits a sharp ground ball that strikes a runner while in the basepath. The
runner is declared out and the batter is awarded a hit.
