How would you score this one?

Post by randkos3 » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:59 pm

Runners on 1st and 3rd, one out.
Batter takes a ball, runner on first attempts to steal 2nd.
Catcher throws to 2nd, Shortstop tags out runner . . .
runner (from 3rd) is headed home, Shortstop throws home in time for the catcher to tag out the runner in a bang-bang play.

So, I wanted to score this a double play but after scoring the "Caught Stealing" at 2nd, iScore indicated play was ended - I scored another attempted Steal (of home) with the out recorded as 6-2. Not a big thing, but it was a beautiful defensive play and I wanted to acknowledge it with credit for at least a double-play.

Is there another way to do this?
Thanks

Not perfect (and a bit counter-intuitive), but...

Start with the runner on third.
Click runner on third > Home > OUT > Caught Stealing > 2-6-2
What happened to runner on 1st?
Second > OUT > Double Play

Perhaps add a note for clearer explanation.

Someone else may have a better solution for single-play entry.
