"How do you figure six for whats the most hits a team can get without scoring a run? "

OK:

Hitter #1 hits a "tweener" and attempts to make an "inside the park home run" . . . he is thrown out at the plate . . . Hit "#1" . . .

Hitter #2 hits a "tweener" and attempts to make an "inside the park home run" . . . he is thrown out at the plate . . . Hit "#2" . . . TWO OUTS!

Hitter #3 hits an infield hit . . . Hit #3 . . .

Hitter #4 hits an infield hit . . . Hit #4 . . . runners now on first and second . . .

Hitter #5 hits an infield hit . . . Hit #5 . . . runners now at first, second, and third.

Hitter #6 hits a ball that strikes R2 betwix second and third base . . . and this, by rule, is called a "hit" . . . Hit #6.

Seems pretty easy too me.
