INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A batter strikes out by swinging the bat 3 times without getting a hit. Their turn is now over, and they do not get a position on base. A “Ground Out” is when the ball is hit to the ground, and a player on the opposing team throws the ball to get a player out. Abbreviate this by listing the position numbers of the opposing players. Write the total number of outs in the inning in the lower left corner, and circle this number. For example, if a ball is hit to shortstop and they throw the ball to the player on 1st base to get the batter out, write “6-3” for the position numbers. Also write “2” in the lower left corner, since this is the 2nd out of the inning. ” A “Fly Out” refers to a ball caught in the air before it hits the ground. In this case, the batter is automatically out. Record this by writing the position number of player who caught the ball. You can still circle the number of players out in the lower left corner. If the player in the right field position caught the ball, write “F10” and then “2” in the bottom. A “Sacrifice Fly” occurs when a fly ball is caught and the players already on base run to another base. If a runner makes a score after the fly ball is caught, write down “SF” next to the batter’s name. Include the position number of the person who caught the ball.  For example, if the batter hit a ball caught by the left fielder, and afterwards another runner scored, you would mark this batter as “SF7.” You can still circle the number of players out in the lower left corner. “Unassisted Outs” are when the batter hits the ball to someone on the ground, and the batter gets out without other players throwing the ball. You can score this by writing the position number of the opposing player and then “U.” Let’s say the batter hit the ball to the 2nd baseman, and the 2nd baseman tagged the batter. You can mark this as “4U.” “Double Plays” occur if 2 players get out in the same play. This can only happen if there are 0 or 1 outs total in the inning. The inning will end when the 3rd out is made. Write “DP” and the position of everyone involved in the play. For example, the batter hits the ball to shortstop. The player on shortstop then throws the ball to 2nd base to get a runner out, as they run from 1st to 2nd base. Then, the 2nd baseman throws the ball to 1st base, to get the batter out. This would be record as “DP 6-4-2.” A “Triple Play” is essentially the same as a "Double Play", but with 3 outs instead of 2. If 3 people get out in 1 play, write “TP” and then the position numbers of each player involved.  For example, the 1st out could happen if the batter hits the ball to the 2nd baseman, and the 2nd baseman catches the ball in the air. The runners on 1st and 2nd base started running after the batter hit the ball into the air. To get the runner on 2nd base out, the shortstop catches the ball from the 2nd baseman--making the 2nd out. Then, the shortstop throws the ball to the 1st baseman to get out the runner who should’ve remained on 1st base. You would write this as “TP F4-6-3.” Write a 3 in the lower left corner and circle it, since this was the 3rd out.

SUMMARY: Write “K” in the batter’s box if a player strikes out. Mark if a player "Grounds Out" by writing the player's position numbers. Write a letter “F” and other players' position number to mark a “Fly Out. Indicate a “Sacrifice Fly” by writing “SF” and players' position number. Record "Unassisted Outs" by writing “U” and players' position number. Mark "Double Plays" by recording “DP” and players' position numbers. Score a "Triple Play" by writing “TP” and the players’ position numbers.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will pour concrete into this frame in order to create a footing. The footings will form the basis for your foundation. The boards should be built according to the specifications of your foundation in your designed plan. Remember to seal the footings to protect them from moisture. Use a high quality sealer. You can pour concrete either directly into trenches or into wood forms. Start with the corners of the foundation and then build a plum and level wall connecting the two corners. Having something to connect the wall to on either side makes the process easier. It’s much easier to spot if the wall is out of alignment. Remove the flaws using hand trowels. You will want to use it on the ceiling too if you plan to cover your roof heavily with dirt and soil. Living underground will keep the temperatures relatively moderate, but the earth also puts a huge amount of pressure on the walls and ceiling of your house.  . It’s also essential to hire a structural engineer to design earthquake resistant elements if you live in an earthquake prone area. You can choose a material as simple as wood boards or something more complex, but sturdier, like brick or concrete. If you choose brick or concrete ensure that you building has strong structural supports. You will have to  lay the brick yourself by buying brick and mortar and building a thick pillar up to the ceiling. A six brick base should provide a decent support. If your room is very large you will want to build a few supports. Scaffolding is something that you can buy at a home improvement store, but is more likely to bend and break. Take this step very seriously or you risk potential cave-ins. Set up these rooms in accordance with your design plans. Make sure that you leave space in the walls for any potential wiring that you’ll need to do. Even though you’re living underground you may need insulation. This will keep your heating and cooling costs down and make your energy use much more efficient. Wait until after you have completed the wiring before you install the insulation.

SUMMARY:
Build a perimeter wood frame. Install footings to provide the base for your foundation. Create stem walls. Consider using reinforced concrete on the walls. Decide what kind of ceiling you want. Plan to have scaffolding or brick pillars secure your ceiling. Use wood beams to outline the rooms in your house. Consider insulation.
