Baseball Riddle #2

[Sonny44]

Here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for.

How can a team get six hits in one inning and not score a run?

My answer in a couple of days.
I waited for some of the recruiting news to settle
Any others coming?

Hit 1 - caught stealing
Hit 2 - caught stealing
Hit 3 - on first
Hit 4 - on 1st and 2nd
Hit 5 - bases loaded
Hit 6 - player passes another on a basepath and is called out

I plan to bust the bubble early, so here goes.
The first two batters are consecutively thrown out trying to stretch singles or doubles into doubles or triples.
(2 batters, 2 hits, two outs, no men on base)
The next three batters single with runners only advancing one base.
(5 batters, 5 hits, 2 outs, bases loaded)
The next batter hits a ball that hits one of the baserunners. By rule, the runner is out, and the batter is awarded a base hit.
(6 batters, 6 hits, three outs, and no one has scored)

Two great answers, but I like this one.

3 consecutive singles with no one scoring.

3 consecutive balls hit that hit the runners. No advance and 3 outs with 3 hits awarded.

As much as I believed mine was the only solution, doggydaddy's is perfectly feasible.

Excellent, different from mine.

Excellent, similar to mine.

(6 batters, 6 hits, three outs, and no one has scored)

Bravo, this was my answer too.

You guys are just too darn good. I was hoping this one would go a few days like the first one.
Anybody else have one, any sport? It's a long time before the next game.

Baseball is a heckuva game. Great to play, great to watch, great for kids, great for families, great for communities. I am quite partial to the National League game which requires a great deal more strategy and second guessing.
