Running RiddleNut.com’s Random Riddles

Ever wonder how seven batters from one baseball team can come up in the same inning, but nobody scores a run? Oh, and the team didn’t use any substitutions either. Got you wondering? Good.

How about this one?

One of us falls and never breaks.

One of us breaks but never falls.

What are we?

The answer to the first riddle is that, of the first five batters, two are out, while three get on base. Now the bases are loaded with two outs. The sixth batter hits a grand slam. Wait a minute — here are four runs! Didn’t the riddle say that nobody scores? Yes, but the guy who hits the grand slam fails to touch first base. That means that he’s the third out and the grand slam never happened. All right, so what about the seventh batter? Well, the player who hit the grand slam isn’t called out until the pitcher protests to the umpire that he missed the base, and the pitcher’s not allowed to protest until the next batter comes up.

The answer to the second riddle is night and day. There can be nightfall and daybreak but never nightbreak and dayfall.
