Wild Pitch/Passed Ball Question

I am a Turbostats convert so bare with me. My senario - you have a runner on 1st and 2nd and there is a wild pitch.

In TS, you would tap the runner on 2nd and then tap advances on wild pitch...easy enough Then you tap the runner on 1st, tap advance, and then tap on "existing error". The "existing error" option is their way of making sure there is only one wild pitch/error given. How would you score it in iScore? My guess is that if you tap wild pitch for both runners 2 wild pitches will be charged to the pitcher, which is wrong. Only 1 wild pitch should be charged. Scoring the runner on 2nd is easy...it's the runner on 1st I want to be sure about.

If you score it as WP for both runners in the same sequence it will only charge 1 WP to the pitcher. I had the same question moving from another software package. I had to try it out a couple of times before I was convinced of it.

The same idea applies to a passed ball.

Thanks dude. I am assuming that goes for the same instance above with both runners advance on a throwing error...ie. You indicate error for both runners but only one error shows up in the stats?

Thanks again.
