Just curious how this should be scored. Bases loaded, batter hits a line drive to centerfield all three batters score. The center fielder made a throw to second but is late to get the batter so the batter is safe. The runner from first was scored as an advance to home on throw instead of an RBI.

In Play - Double
(runner on 3rd) Home - Advanced by batter
(runner on 2nd) Home - Advanced by batter
(runner on 1st) Home - On the Throw
(batter) - Held Up

If you enter a runner advancing on the throw, you are saying the runner did not advance because of the batter. You should use Advanced by Batter for the runners to give the batter credit for an RBI.

Why would you not give the batter credit for all 3 RBIs? If they couldn't make the out at second, they probably could not make the out at home. I would probably give the batter a double and score 3 RBIs.

So...I guess no definitive answer. 3 RBI's makes more sense but nothing to set in stone rule to debate with.

Thanks,

Its scorer's judgement.

If the runners would have all scored regardless (say if batter stayed at first), then 3 rbis.
If runner from first truly only scored as a result of an attempted play at second (was otherwise holding at third if throw came all the way in) then 2 rbis.

Without seeing play, no one can give definitive answer.
