Baseball Score
How do you score this in baseball?
A batter hits one in left center gap. He rounds second, so he obviously gets a double. He then decides to turn back to second and gets caught in a pickle and thrown out. Would you score it a 2B and Caught Stealing 3B or what? How do you score the out?
It’s not scored as a “caught stealing,” since the play was still live. It could only be scored that way if the play in which he hit the ball was over, and play had been called before the runner tried to take third.
In this case, the hit is scored as a double. There is no caught stealing, and there’s no such thing as a “baserunning error” in scoring a baseball game. Like the initial answer said, you just mark down a double and indicate that the runner was eliminated on the basepaths.
The putout would be given to the player who tagged the runner. Again – there is NO SUCH THING as a baserunning error in scoring, and I’m surprised to see it mentioned by so many people here.
