Every pitcher tells a story A bat 'n' ball game with an American flavour from Peter Shaw. Here's a chance for you to play the American game of Baseball on your 48K Spectrum. You have a team and the computer has a team, and together you must battle your way through the innings until one team comes out on top. When it is your time to play, one of your team will come up to bat and you will be offered the options of playing safe and hitting down (by pressing the 'd' key) or trying for a home run (by pressing the 'u' key). Once you have made your choice, the screen switches to some great used defined graphics illustrating your batsperson and the pitcher. You'll see the ball fly towards the batsperson and how well your player coped with the pitch. Once the pitch has been made, the screen reverts back to text and you find out just how well the batsperson did. It could be a home run, or else just a small hit which would place the batter on one of the bases. Of course, if the player was caught out, the next batsperson comes up for a pitch. As soon as your team have all been struck out, then the computer's team take to the field and your team have to pitch. Once both teams are out, the score is displayed and you either begin another game or start the second innings.
