Little League Baseball games, including those in the Little League World Series, typically consist of six innings. This is fewer than the nine innings played in professional baseball. If the home team is leading after the top of the sixth inning, the game may end early after five and a half innings. Games can also end early due to the "run rule" if one team is ahead by a large margin (e.g., 15 runs after three innings or 10 runs after four innings). In cases where the game is tied after six innings, extra innings can be played starting with the seventh inning. Overall, the standard number of innings in a Little League game is six innings, with three outs per inning per team.
