Sac Fly DP not counted as DP
Posted: Wed May 04, 2016 7:06 pm
This was a game-ending situation, but I verified in a test game that it happens even in the 1st inning.
Bases loaded, 1 out. Batter flies out to CF. Runner on third scores, Runner from 2nd tagged out 8-2-5.
I scored it as:
Out, Sac Fly, 8-2-5
What happened to runner on 3rd? Safe, Home, Advanced by batter
What happened to runner on 2nd? Out, Third, Double Play
It's not counted as a DP in the stats, and looking more closely the CF and C were credited with assists, 3b got a putout. CF did not get a putout (only 2 were credited for the inning...this one along with one to the C for a prior K).
(Nothing like ending a game with the good ol' fashioned 8-2-5 sac fly double play!)
