Setting A Line Up

At the start of each inning, the batting order resumes where it left off in the previous
inning, rather than resetting to start with the #1 hitter again. While this ensures that the
players all bat roughly the same number of times, the game will almost always end before
the last cycle is complete, so that the #1 hitter (for example) almost always has one plate
appearance more than the #9 (or #12) hitter.
