If you wish to bunt, turn the knob counterclockwise. If you turn it all the way to the left, your swing will be slower and less powerful.
===Getting a Runner on Base and Scoring a Run===
Player 1 squeezes the TRIGGER button on the joystick to hit the ball. Once the ball is hit, the computer automatically advances the player to first base.
====Overrunning First Base====
Championship Baseball lets you overrun first base, just as in Major League Baseball. To do so, press the '''TRIGGER''' button just before the batter reaches first base.
====Guidelines for Successful Base Running====
* To make the first runner'' lead off,'' push the joystick slightly forward. Only the first, or lead runner may '' lead off.''
* Pull the joystick backward (toward you) to send a lead runner backward along the baseline. Pushing the joystick forward or backward only affects the lead runner.
* Base runners can use the slide feature on running to second and third base, as well as home plate. Press Button 1 on the MBXjoystick as you're pushing the joystick forward. This action causes your lead runner to slide into the base.
* Stealing is legal in Championship Baseball. But don't get caught or you're out. Push the joystick forward to advance the runner, just as you do to make him run the bases. Watch out for the pitcher, who can "pick you off," as in a real baseball game.
====Scoring a Run====
You score runs in Championship Baseball just as in real-life baseball play. Each time your runner safely reaches home plate, you receive one run.
