isn't that the same thing? There were no hits in the 1st inning, no hits in the Top 2nd, then finally(lol) hits in the bottom of the 2nd.

no there are 6 outs in an inning. baseball is used to describe innings as .1,.2,.3 for outs so by a .5 i was asking if it was an inning and a half or an inning and 5 outs or 5/6th.

i was being clever with baseball statical references. if a pitcher pitches 5.2 innings he pitches 5 innings and 2 outs.
