Back at my computer now so I'll go more in depth. Witty's correct about all of what he said. So to explain how a run can score without a hit: A walk puts a runner on first base. Call him A. A sacrifice bunt (the batter deliberately hits the ball very softly in the infield, allowing the runner to get to second base while the batter is thrown out- sacrificing an out for a better chance at the next guy hitting the run in) gets A to second base. An error- let's say batter C hits a ground ball to the second baseman, but he drops the ball, is a baserunner without a hit. That puts runner A on third and C on first. A sacrifice fly- if a fly ball is hit, a batter can "Tag up" by waiting on the base until the ball is caught and then run to home plate/the next base. It's fairly common if the ball is hit far enough, like to near the wall, for a runner to tag up and score. That's how a run can score without a hit- a walk, a bunt, an error, and a sacrifice fly. A perfect game, as a side note, is where a team gets no runners at all to first base. No walks, no errors, no hits. It's pretty rare- 21 times total since 1900. 2012 actually had three, which was incredible. Arguably the coolest perfect game is the one Don Larsen threw in the 1956 World Series. As another side note, there have been 287 no-hitters (that includes perfect games) since 1875. Only 11 of those involved more than one pitcher, and all were in nine inning games. So for a nine-pitcher, ten inning, no-hitter in which two runs scored, you're basically getting lightning in a bottle. Yes, I'm a huge baseball nerd.
