Wild pitch/run scores
Wild pitch/run scores
Runners on first and third, less than two outs. Wild pitch, but catcher throws out runner at second (trying to advance from 1st on wild pitch). On throw, runner from third scores. Official rules say score as no wild pitch, runner from 1st tagged out at 2nd , and runner from third scores on FIELDER'S CHOICE. How to score in iscore?

mu suggestion
pitch ball/strike
tap runner at first, out second, tag 2-6 (not a caught stealing see rule 10.07.h
tap runner at third, safe, home, on the throw (fielder choose to throw, runner advanced on throw, unless he was stealing from the get go then a stolen base)
pitch ball/strike
tap runner at first, out second, tag 2-6 (not a caught stealing see rule 10.07.h
tap runner at third, safe, home, on the throw (fielder choose to throw, runner advanced on throw, unless he was stealing from the get go then a stolen base)
10.07(h) Comment: In those instances where a pitched ball eludes the catcher and the runner is put out trying to advance, the official scorer shall not charge any “caught stealing.
Rule 10.13 Comment: The official scorer shall not charge a wild pitch or passed ball if the defensive team makes an out before any runners advance. For example, if a pitch touches the ground and eludes the catcher with a runner on first base, but the catcher recovers the ball and throws to second base in time to retire the runner, the official scorer shall not charge the pitcher with a wild pitch. The official scorer shall credit the advancement of any other runner on the play as a fielder’s choice.
Re: Wild pitch/run scores
Thanks OhioTex. I scored it this way also. But I still wonder about the last line: "The official scorer shall credit the advancement of any other runner on the play as a fielder’s choice.". Iscore records this as advanced on throw, not fielders choice.

Re: Wild pitch/run scores
Advance on Throw is statistically no different than a fielder's choice for a runner. The only place Fielder's Choice has a statistical significance is for a Batter. So using Advance on Throw is the correct way to score it.
