Hi All:

Eight games in the the I-pad version and must say that I love it.

Question:

2 outs, man on first and second, batter hits grounder up middle and strikes second base runner in foot. I would like to know how to score this play correctly. When I did it it showed HBB for the batter's place on the score card.

Thanks,

Rick

I assume you would log the batter as a hit and when it asks you what happened to the runner on 2nd you hit out and one of the choices is hit by ball

what you did wrong was not score the batter first, He was not HBB, the runner was

since runner called out, i will assume the on field call was the infielder still had a play on the ball, so likely a FC

In play , fielders choice, (FC based on scorer judgment)
What happen to runner at second?
out: hit by ball
What happed to runner at first? second, Held up
what happen to batter? first, held up

Is it a fielder's choice when the fielder never made a choice? Seems like a fielder's choice would need to be a cleanly caught ball and then the fielder decides to not go for batter.

the original question was how to input iscore so scorecard more correct. i think we covered that.

the question of is it a hit or FC, is a different one. i leave it to scorer judgment.

rule guidance in 10.05.a.5 and 10.05.b.5 give support to either.

We had a thread previously on hit or not when the runner is hit by the ball. As I recall if the runner is hit by the ball before the fielder has the opportunity to field the ball the batter is awarded a hit and of course the runner is out. If the fielder has the opportunity before hitting the runner then regular rules apply for error or hit.
