Unearned Run

[jwadas]

I have a situation that I believe is an unearned run but iscore counted it as an earned run. The first batter of the inning singled. She reached second when the right fielder missed the ball (error). The next batter grounded out to first. The first batter now advanced to third. Next batter flies out to left, runner tags and goes home. Last batter strikes out. Therefore, I believe if the error never occurred the batter would have reached at most third base (that's if they tagged on the fly out to left which is unlikely). The last batter struck out so no chance of scoring that run.

I am not arguing the app is wrong, just looking for justification.

the computer can not apply the judgment you can in person and did on the advance to second, third and home logic. the speed of runners depth of hits etc. it sounds like the computer logic is prioritizing the single, it also sounds like you may not have advanced the runner due to error on the iscore key strokes. Regardless , you can over ride the stats manually as explained in the forum. go to the pitching stats in the game info screen, click the stat value, key board pops up, edit appropriately.

Thanks for the quick reply. Love the app.

I had a similar issue last night in a game I scored and iScore counted it as n earned run. I had a batter get on by a hit to left field. The fielder mis-judged the ball and tried to make the out, never touching the ball but it got way by him; I scored it as a base hit, with the runner advancing all the way to third because of the "E7". Another parent scored it as a triple. The next batter was a sac fly, and the next two were ground outs.

This brings up another question - would that play be a base hit with the runner advancing to third on E7, or just a plain triple?

Error or hit depends on the situation and age in my opinion. If the OF is running when trying to catch the ball, but misses, I will usually not score an error. If the ball goes straight to the OF, but goes in and out of the glove, an error. These are two extremes, but in the end I just try to consistently apply my "reasonable" standard to assigning errors. And this is 10U. I will probably expect more catches, and therefore give more errors for missed catches in the OF, at 12U.

Personally, based on your description I would score a single with e7 to third. It sounds as if the fielder would have played the ball correctly it would have been no more than a single.
