A baseball-themed electro-mechanical playfield, framed by light varnished wood side rails, with a bright grass-green background and a large orange-and-tan diamond shape running down the centre. At the top a curved red banner reads United's 10th INNING in white letters; to its right a white rounded capsule reads RUNS in red, above a grid of red and blue oval bumpers numbered 1 to 9 and a bottom row of larger red ovals 10, 20 and 30. Below the banner is an inset oval showing a miniature baseball diamond with a tan outfield apron labelled 2nd, 3rd, 1st and Home in red and black script, and a catcher in blue and white crouched at the plate. Four cartoon ballplayers are painted on the green field: a large outfielder in a white uniform with red socks leaping with one arm raised to catch a ball at upper left, a small blue-and-yellow crouching fielder at far left, a small white-and-blue batter-figure at upper right, and the catcher. Nine large red circular targets with black rubber posts form a triangle of SINGLE, TRIPLE, DOUBLE labels on black and red banners, and a white baseball at lower centre reads HOME RUN in curved red letters. Chrome ball guides, metal posts and a wooden ball-release chute frame the lower area, with instruction panels and arrows at the bottom.
