Explanation:
- The story says the baseball game was tied 6–6. That means it’s a close game!
- Then, “the home-team batter hit a high-fly ball deep into right field.” So the ball went way up and far to the right side.
- “The outfielder caught the ball but then dropped it.” So he almost got it — but it fell out of his hands.
- Now, where would a ball go if it’s hit deep into right field and then dropped by the outfielder? Right near the edge of the field — which is usually where the dugout is (that’s where the players sit).
- So the most logical thing that happened next is: the ball rolled into the dugout.
- That’s why the answer is “The ball rolled into the dugout.”
