How to score this . . .

The batter hits a line shot to RF. The right fielder comes in and snags it on 1 short hop - then immediately fires to 1B for the out.

1a) Marking it as "Out, Line, 9-3" shows up in the "Pitch By Pitch" as: "#10 x-name" hits a line Drive to the right fielder "#9 y-name" for an out.

1b) Marking it as "Out, Ground Out, 9-3" shows up in the "pitch By Pitch" as: "#10 x-name" grounds out on the throw RF "#9 y-name" to 1B "#3 y-name".

In both cases, the scorecard indicates PO and Assist numbers correctly - but in the "P x P" description - it gets it wrong when indicating the hit ball as a (1 hop) line drive rather than a (hard) ground ball. Am I wrong in thinking that a "Line Drive" is different than a hard grounder? I usually think of a hard grounder as one that gets thru the infield - on the ground - - - and a liner as one that gets thru the infield in the air. I would believe a batter would like to be "acknowledged" with a line drive - rather than a grounder.

Also, am I imagining this . . . when did iScore correctly change the hit description on an infield pop-out from F-4 to P-4 .... ?

It is up to you whether you want to use 1a or 1b. If you use 1b, you can still select "Line Drive" on the screen where you enter hit location.

Adding the "P" for pop out designation was done some time last year.
