How do I score this one?

[boyinr]

Runner at first with no outs, batter sac bunts, out 5-3, Runner touches second and trys to advvance to third but is tagged out 3-6? I have tried and tried. It keeps saying tagged at out at second.

Are you touching third before you score the tag out to let the program know the play is at third? I make this mistake sometimes on the caught stealing, I need to touch second otherwise it says caught stealing at first.

In play
out, sac bunt
hit location > next
"Who handled..." 5-3, done

"What happen to runner at first.?".
out ,3, tag out

I would score it that way,
Score Card Shows
batter SAC 5-3, and
Runner at first, AB# at 2nd Base and TO3-5 between 2nd and 3rd

OhioTex,
Why start this as "in play"? The batter is out, so shouldn't that be the first touch?

[OhioTex]

you are right.
"out" as step 1 is more correct.
(it saves you a keystroke, but otherwise no different. than "inplay" "out")

....not sure when or exactly why.. but somewhere along the way i got in the habit of just hitting "in play" when a ball went into play.. rather than 'out' to start entry. looking back, probably started this habit for a couple of reasons: 1) when i score and coach live with one hand, esier to hit "in play" button with my fat thumb 2) generally am scoreing real time while coaching and so on conatct, I tend to think "in play" rather than out and my fingers follow suit; 3) in my youth games, routine outs have a habit of turning into safe ...FYI because of above, i do not use swipe on out either. Again, no real reason just the habits i have adopted over time.

again, technically you are right, save yoursefl a step and start with "out"

Thanks Danmcc. That was my issue. I do not think that I can correct it at this point with our rescoring the game from that point on.
