Where Math Gets Real
1. The World Series is the championship series for Major League Baseball. It was first held in 1903. It is a best- of-seven tournament, which means the lowest number of games played per World Series is 4 and the greatest is 7. Write an inequality to express the range for the number of games played as part of any World Series, using g as the variable. 2. In softball, the pitcher stands in the pitcher’s circle, which is marked on the field in chalk. The radius of the pitcher’s circle is 8 feet. What is the area of the pitcher’s circle? Use 3.14 for pi. ( Hint: Area = π r 2 )

EXIT SLIP B
The Science of Softball > MIXED SKILLS
Where Math Gets Real
1. A player’s batting average is found by dividing their number of base hits (hits that let the player advance to a base) by the number of times they were at bat. In the 1991-1992 season, Stacy Cowen had a 0.530 batting average. She was at bat 302 times. How many base hits did she make that season?
2. The shortstop is the softball fielding position between second and third base. The distance between second and third base on a softball field is 60 feet. If the shortstop fields a ball that is directly 12 feet behind third base, what is the diagonal distance the ball will travel from the shortstop to a player standing at second base? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. ( Hint: Use a 2 + b 2 = c 2 )
