Is this an Earned or Unearned Run Situation (answered)

Post by Coachtucci » Mon May 01, 2017 3:20 pm

Question,
Pitcher allows a batter to reach base by double to center. Next batter slaps play is to first.
E-5 on throw make player safe at first...runner advances from 2nd to 3rd on slap, but error allows her to score.
Okay earned run or not?

Too much missing information to know for sure.

If it would have been the third out at first, then it is unearned.

If it would not have been the third out, and a subsequent batter likely would have gotten the run to score (like a base hit, or a an out that would have scored the run anyway) then it could still be an earned run.

You replay the inning in your head with error-free play and determine if the run would have scored with no errors to determine if it is earned or unearned.
