Can a team score runs while playing defence?

Yes. In Rally Cap, teams score runs the same way as in traditional baseball (touching home plate), and they can also "score" runs while on defence:

• A run can be earned by catching a fly ball.
• A run can be earned by throwing a runner out at a base.
• Up to six defensive runs can be earned each inning.
• To throw a runner out, the batted ball can be thrown or run to any base before the batter-runner reaches 1st base.

Baseball Canada says programs can develop a different scoring system to reward other defensive plays, for example more points for fielding a ball followed by an accurate throw. It also encourages rotating defensive players after each at-bat so athletes learn the different positions.
