The meaning 'Punkt' (point/run) is limited exclusively to sports, especially baseball. You can recognize it from words like 'Baseball' (baseball), 'Spiel' (game), 'Team' (team), or 'Homerun' (home run).

point
'der Punkt' and 'der Run' can both have to do with the score in sports. 'Punkt' is the general word for a counting unit in games, competitions, or evaluations. 'Run' is much more specific and belongs to baseball: in baseball, a run is a specific kind of point scored when a player has reached all the bases. The words can be confused because a run counts like a point in the score. In ordinary sports, people usually say 'Punkt'; 'Run' only fits in a baseball context.
