How Long is the Game? Baseball games can last a long time—2.5

How Long is the Game?
Baseball games can last a long
time—2.5 to 4 hours! If the
teams are tied at the end of
the 9th inning, they go into
extra innings. They keep
playing until one team wins.
Leaving the Game 1
If I leave the game, I cannot come
back in.
After the game, the ballpark is very
crowded with everyone leaving at the
same time. I need to stay with my group
so I do not get lost!
My family might want to leave the game
early to avoid some of the crowd.
Leaving the Game 2
It will be loud when I leave the
game. Some people might push
and shove and bump into me.
I will walk to my car or to
public transportation with my
group.
Leaving the Game 3
Once I get in the car, I may
have to wait in line to get out
of the parking lot. There may
be traffic getting home.
My group will drive home. The
game was so much fun! I can’t
wait to go again!
