Swing + Miss = Strike...you can also count Balls

Hitting the coin can result in OUTs if...

1) Pitcher grabs spinning coin before it lies flat

2) Coin stops in zone closest to Batter

Hitting the coin can result in HITs...

# of bases = location where coin stops on table

Create zones for base hits = 1(near), 2, 3(far)
