Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'baseball' names the sport and 'game' denotes a contest, so 'baseball game' straightforwardly means a game of baseball. This noun+noun combination follows a common and cross-linguistically transparent compounding pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand the phrase.
Etymology
The noun baseball game comes from a simple picture: players hit a ball and run around fixed bases to score. That's why the name literally means 'a game where players hit a ball and run the bases'.
