5.2 Play-by-play Mode
The DakStats Baseball program allows users to enter plays as they happen. Operators are
able to input stats by selecting game commands and then entering specific information when
prompted; prompts will default to the most common choice. The Play-by-play screen is
available to users throughout the game, and remains available when the game is finished.
Figure 11 shows the main application screen in Play-by-play mode, with each section of the
screen labeled by function:
 Line Score: Tracks Runs scored in each inning and total Hits, Errors (Err), and Left
On Base (LOB) for both teams
 Data Entry: This is where the action of a play is recorded
 Previous At Bats: Lists what happened for each of a player’s at bats
 Rosters & Statistics: Shows each player of both teams and their statistics for the
game. It is not possible to edit the stats in this area
 Play-by-Play & Editing: As stats are entered, a detailed commentary of each play
will appear here. It is possible to modify any previous play as needed, and the rest of
the game data will update accordingly.
 Above the play-by-play commentary is an illustration of a baseball field that shows
base runners and fielders, as well as the B/S/O count for the current inning and the
pitcher on the mound. Different players and locations on the illustration may be
clicked when entering plays.
