The batter must strike at a good ball and attempt to run a rounder in an anti-clockwise direction around the first, second, and third base and home to the fourth, though they may stay at any of the first three. Points (known as 'rounders') are scored by the batting team when one of their players completes a circuit past four bases without being put 'out'.
