A scorecard, on your phone. Nine slots a side, every at-bat where you'd write it on paper. It works the same for a major league game as for nine kids whose names you don't know yet. TAP WHAT HAPPENED The top row runs the count. The marks under it finish the at-bat — 1B for a single, K for a strikeout, GO for a groundout. Runners covers steals and wild pitches, and the arrow takes back your last tap, whatever it was. THEN SAY WHERE IT WENT Every ball in play opens the field. Tap the fielders in the order they touched it and the 6-3 writes itself. Tap the grass where the ball landed — that's what draws each batter's spray chart. MOVE THE MEN ON BASE Tap a runner, then the bag he reached, home included. Tap E, then the fielder who muffed it, to charge an error. You never mark a double play or a sacrifice fly yourself: the card works those out from the outs and the runs you tapped in. GO BACK AND FIX ANYTHING There's no edit mode to find. Tap any cell and the same controls point at it — the at-bat in progress, or one from the third inning you got wrong. Every tap is saved as you make it. FOLLOWING A REAL GAME? Pick it off the day's schedule and both lineups fill themselves in. Step away for an inning and Catch up fills in what you missed, without touching a single at-bat you scored yourself. Both of those are part of Pro, below. ALSO IN THE APP • A live box score — hits, runs, errors, and every line that follows from them • Spray charts, for one batter or the whole side • Substitutions that know a pinch runner from a pitching change • Rules for standard or youth games, and a custom setting that gets out of the way • Every mark on the card explained in plain English It works at a ballpark with no signal. Games are kept on your phone and backed up the way the rest of your phone is. No account is required to score a game, and there is no limit on how many you keep. FREE, AND PRO Scoring is free and complete — every screen above, every game you ever play, kept on your phone. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: • Cloud sync, so your scorecards follow you to a new phone and across your devices • Pull real games and both lineups off the day's schedule
