Morphology
The meaning 'the number of runs earned by each team in a baseball game' is directly derivable from combining 'baseball' (the sport) with 'score' (the number of points), following a standard noun–noun composition where the first noun specifies the domain of the score. This is a common, compositional pattern across languages and therefore a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Baseball score comes from the simple picture of a scoreboard that shows the 'number of runs' for each team in a baseball game. The score is the number on the board, so the phrase means the game's runs and final result.
