Every sport has its particular scoring. For more information on other sports, check out the MISC section on our rules page.

A fielder receives an assist as long as he touches the ball, even if the contact was unintentional. There is a maximum of one assist per player per out recorded. If a player touches the ball twice in a rundown, where the runner is eventually tagged out, that player is only credited with one assist for that out. Pitchers are not awarded assists for strikeouts.
