(1)A won the baseball game with B 7 to 5.
(2)A lost to B 5 to 3 in the baseball game.
(3)A drew with B 3 to 3.
(4)A drew the baseball game with B 3 to 3.
Could you correct the sentences if there's anything wrong?
Thanks for your help! |

(1)A won the baseball game with B 7 to 5. Okay. Also can say, A beat B 7 to 5 / 7-5.
(2)A lost to B 5 to 3 in the baseball game. Okay. Or 1 lost to be, 5-3.
(3)A drew with B 3 to 3. No, you would say, A and B tied 3-3. Or the game between A and B ended in a 3-3 tie.
(4)A drew the baseball game with B 3 to 3. See (3).
