Forced 3d out with runner heading home
Posted: Sun Mar 30, 2014 2:56 pm
Here is my situation. Bases loaded. Two outs.
Batter puts ball in play to a fielders choice throw to second. The runner advancing from 1st to 2d is out, for the 3d out.
When I try to score, I hit "hits single" on "fielder's choice". [It seems to me that I canNOT record the batter as out].
The next question is what happened to the runner from 3d. He was not out? I tried that he was safe at home . . . ultimately following with forced out at 2d (but this leaves the runner to home as "scored" -- which is not correct).
I tried that he was held up at third (ball out of play) . . . but that then doesn't score correctly either b/c I cannot mark the runner from first to second as out at second . . ..
And so it goes.
What is the proper way to score this one?
