Runner on first, one out.

Batter hits dinker into shallow right scored a single in no mans land.
Runner hesitates going to second not sure if the dinker would be caught.
RF catches ball on one hop, throws out runner at second 9-6.

When I score this

In play
Hit single
What happened to runner on first, out, force out

Problem is here, there is not an option to tap 9-6.
The app goes to what happened to batter, held up.

Can you tap on the runner at second after the play, and then select out, force out, 9-6? I think iscore assumes he makes it to 2nd with a single, but you should be able to score it after the fact and gets the stats correct.

This is a fielder's choice.

In play
Fielder's choice
Location
Touch RF then SS
What happened to runner on first
Out, second, force out
What happened to batter on first
Safe, first, held up

I don't think it was a fielder's choice as the defense did not have a play at first. The batter should get credited with a hit. The reason the runner was out at second was because he hesitated on the run (in case it was caught.)

In this case, Aimee has it right according to MLB rules. Unfortunately this is a case where a cleanly hit ball that may ordinarily be a base hit can be reduced to a fielder's choice if following the rules.

10.05(b)(1)

10.05 Base Hits
....
(b) The official scorer shall not credit a base hit when a:
(1) runner is forced out by a batted ball, or would have been forced out except for a fielding error;

It is too bad for the batter, but there are other scenarios where clean hits can be reduced to non-hits as well. The following rule is at least as bad if not worse for the batter:

10.05 Base Hits
....
(b) The official scorer shall not credit a base hit when a:
...
(2) batter apparently hits safely and a runner who is forced to advance by reason of the batter becoming a runner fails to touch the first base to which such runner is advancing and is called out on appeal. The official scorer shall charge the batter with a time at bat but no hit;

In this scenario, the BATTER is being penalized for the mistake of a RUNNER.

I learn something everyday on this board!

In a youth game, I would probably credit the kid with a hit anyway, but technically it would not be. Try explaining that to the parent that is watching their kid's stats though.

Wow, baseball is a cruel world sometimes I seem to learn something here everyday.
