Strange play??

Post by rwhite873 » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:12 pm

Runner at 1st. No outs.
Batter bunts and is ruled safe on a hit by the official scorer even thou the 1st baseman made a an error on the throw to the 2nd baseman covering 1st....So Batter is safe at first on the bunt hit, and advances to 2nd on the error.
Runner on 1st advances to 2nd on the bunt hit, advances to third on the error, and is thrown out by the 2nd baseman at the plate trying to score on the play.

How do you score this in iscore? I was not able to show the error advancing the runner to third without creating another "play".

Correct, this would need to be done in multiple plays. This is common in iscore, where you have a series of different events that occur.

I think there has been requests to have a feature where you can "tie" these separate entries to a single play, but not sure if that is something that we will see or not. FTM may be able to chime in on this.

We would probably just mark the runner on first out at home on the play and not even bother with advancing to third on the error. You have already captured the error with the original batter advancing to second on the error, so capturing it again does not change statistics.

If you are looking to have the complete detail of every base advanced, then yes, you could enter as two plays, but statistically there would be no difference.
