OPERATING THE CONTROL IN A BASEBALL GAME
Before continuing with this chapter, be sure the letters BA appear in the upper-
left corner of the LCD display. This indicates that baseball is the sport currently
selected. If you see a different code, select baseball as instructed at SELECTING
AND CHANGING SPORTS on page 151 on page 199.
You should also be familiar with the information in PROGRAMMING THE SYSTEM
SETTINGS on page 142, which discusses several functions of the MP-70/50 that
are important to its operation in a baseball game.
UPDATING THE INNING NUMBER
Follow these steps to update the inning number
1. Press INNING .
2. Press +1 to advance to the next inning or
on the numeric keypad, enter the new inning number and then
press ENTER .
ALTERNATING DISPLAY OF INNINGS/GAME CLOCK
Some baseball scoreboards allow you to toggle between displaying the innings
and the game clock in the same digit window. Simply pressing the INNING key
twice does this.
TRACKING THE SCORE BY INNING
If the MP-70/50 is programmed for use with the BA-7127 or BA-7136 (scoreboard
type number 34) you can track score by inning through 20 innings of game play.
In extra innings situations when the inning number increases from 10 to 11, the
home and visitor score by inning display windows of the scoreboard will be
cleared. Eleventh-inning scores will then be displayed in the first-inning position,
twelfth-inning scores in position 2, and so on, through the twentieth inning. Score
information for the first 10 innings is retained in memory and can be retrieved for
display at any time by entering an inning number from one to 10. (See UPDATING
THE INNING NUMBER above) The selected inning number appears on the top line,
right-hand side of the LCD window unless the hit or error indicator is on.
The BA-7120 scoreboard (type 35) works similarly but has only nine score-by-
inning windows instead of 10. Therefore the tenth-inning scores are displayed in
the first-inning position, eleventh-inning scores in position 2, and so on, through
the eighteenth inning.
If your scoreboard model allows you to display the score by inning, follow the
steps below to enter or update the score. If you need to correct a scoring mistake
in a previous inning, follow the same steps.
