2 outs, man on third, batter tagged out at home

Post by NationalsCoach » Thu Jun 17, 2010 6:39 pm

Ok, so how do I score this? iScore doesn't really seem to work in this situation, but I might be the wrong one.

2 outs
Runner on 3rd
Batter crushes ball
Runner scores
Batter easily makes it to third, but do to poor 3rd base coaching, decides to try to score
Batter is tagged out at home

I know the run counts

But, does the batter get credit for a triple?

It seems, through iScore, that is the only option - In Play, Triple, Runner on 3rd scores, Batter tagged out at home.

To me, it doesn't seem right that the batter gets credit for the triple, but I might be wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Assuming there were no errors that led to the batter getting to third (since you said the batter crushed the ball), the correct scoring is to give the batter credit for the bases reached safely. A triple is correct. Same thing if a batter tries to stretch a single into a double. If they are thrown out at 2nd, they still get a single.

Exactly. He earned a triple, and deserves credit for it.

Correct, it is a triple with batter being thrown out at home.
