An inning is over when each team has had three outs up at bat. Perhaps you have referred to innings in baseball referred to as "top of the 5th," "bottom of the 9th," etc. The words "top" and "bottom" refer to what part of the inning the players are in- at the top of an inning, it is one team's turn at bat. After they've gotten three outs, the teams switch for the bottom of the inning, when the other team gets a turn at bat until they have gotten three outs.

3 outs = 1/2 of an inning.

The inning ends after the 3rd out of the bottom half to that inning (after the home team makes the 3rd out).

*Unless the home team is winning after the 1st half of the 9th inning or the 1st half of any of the "extra innings", then the inning and game will end after the top half of the inning (after the visiting team makes the 3rd out).

You have to get three outs an inning to end the inning. As soon as a team gets the other team to get the third out then the inning is over. Here's a link for you. There are links within it.

An inning in baseball is usually defined as "a division of a game during which the two teams alternate as offense and defense and during which each team is allowed three outs while batting." Thus, in the first inning, the visiting team starts their turn at batting (the top of the first). The first batter strikes out (out one). The second batter hits a single (still one out). The third batter hits into a double play (two and three outs). The home team now will begin their turn at batting (bottom of the first). The first batter hits a double (no outs). The second batter hits a single (no outs). The third batter strikes out (one out). The fourth batter flies out (two outs). The fifth batter is called for batter's interference (batter is out; three outs). At this time, the teams switch offense/defense again and we begin the top of the 2nd inning. The process repeats, in higher levels of baseball, until 9 innings; in Little League, for 6 innings -- different leagues play different amounts of innings, depending on their rulebook.

However, the end of innings have the following exception(s):
- When a home team is leading the visiting team in the 9th inning (6th in little league, etc), and the visiting team fails to tie or take the lead in the top of the 9th inning, the third out recorded will end the game.
- When a home team is tied or trailing in the bottom of the 9th (6th in little league, etc), and the home team manages a base hit that puts them in the lead, the game is over at that point and no more outs will be recorded.
- When inclement weather prevents play from continuing, and, in the umpire's judgement, play cannot continue, the game is called, and any fraction of an inning played up to this point is nullified (e.g.: if it starts snowing heavily in the top of the 7th, and the visiting team in this inning has hit a grand slam (bases loaded) home run to tie the game, and the game is called in the top of the 7th, official scoring will only count the results from the first 6 innings of play -- the grand slam home run does not count, and the home team will have won the game).
-- If, in Major League Baseball, the game is called before 5 innings are completed (the bottom of the fourth is completed, or, if the home team is leading, the top of the fourth is completed), the game and any results from this contest do not count officially, and the make-up game shall begin in the top of the first inning, no outs, no score.
-- If, in Major League Baseball, the game is called after 5 innings are complete, the game and any results from this contest DO count, and all results are traced back to the previous full inning of play (e.g.: if the game is called in the top of the 8th, only that which occured in the first full 7 innings of play are officially counted).
- If extra innings occur, the game can end in the bottom of the extra inning prior to the third out, provided the home team has taken the lead.

How many baseball stadiums have you been to and which is your favorite?

When 3 outs have been recorded. The exception is the bottom of the 9th or subsequent inning. These would be played if the score after the top of the 9th was tied, and if the scor after the top of any subsequent inning was tied or had the visitors in the. In such cases, the game ends when the home team either scores (with the game tied) or scores at least 1 more run than the length of the visitor's lead. At that point, the game ends with less than 3 out in that inning.
