9 innings, 3 outs per inning. Hmmm. Three batters get a hit. 4th batter hits into double play, freeing two bases for two more hits without scoring. That's 5 hits per inning without scoring a run. 5 hits times 9 innings = 45 hits.
Now, if there are pickoff plays for every baserunner, in theory a team could have an infinite number of hits per inning without scoring a run.
Good mental excercise. Hope I'm close. Anyhow, fun to think about baseball for a few minutes and forget about February.
