Leaving base path
Posted: Thu May 03, 2012 7:16 am
Girls softball game. Runners at second and third, two outs. Batter slaps the ball to the shortstop, but beats the throw to first. Runner at third has held, but runner at second has run to third. Runner at third then tries for home. First baseman initially runs the ball at the runner to get her to commit and then throws the ball to catcher but runner is then called out for leaving the base path. Was never tagged by catcher.
Initially I scored it as single for batter, what happened to runner on third?, Out at home, tagged out, 6-3-2. But then I went in and edited in pitch by pitch and after what happened to runner on third, out at home, I correctly put Left base path. then it just asked for nearest player or player with ball, I entered 2.
So my question would be who is supposed to get credit for put outs and assists on that play? I haven't bothered to see how it was recorded in stats because it was our girl who was put out. But before I would look I need to know what is supposed to be the correct stats for that play.
As a side note before I edited it: when I looked at play by play on the website. It just had runner out at home, but instead of the courtesy runners name it had reverted back to the name of our catcher who she had replaced. even though the courtesy runners name had been listed correctly when advancing from first to second and second to third.
After I edited the play,,, this is what shows up on play by play: Single, LBPR: { guid=8050b383-d34a-9bd7-f17b-9fc74beca3d1, update_dt=1335916886.0, type=LBPR, bt_act=8:4, ft_act=2, home_at_bat=8, visitor_at_bat=3, visitor_score=6, home_score=0, outs=0, inning=5, top_inning=1, courtesy_runners=, strikes=0, } : Prev=
I have found with iscore that you want to try to be as correct as possible with your first entry because editing later tends to cause more problems than it really solves. But I still think it's a great program with great support.
