Help on fielding error

Post by vol_freak » Sun Sep 27, 2009 9:48 am

First off, I'm loving this app so far.

My question is regarding a fielding error. I have a runner on first and I'm trying to score a play where the ball is hit to third and the 3B throws the ball over 2B resulting in runners on first and third. The software appears to be scoring it as two errors on the play.... at least in my box summary. Any suggestions?

Here is one way to score it:

Click In Play, Fielder's Choice (fielder chose to throw to 2nd), touch ball location, touch 3B - 2B as ball handlers, it asks what happened to the runner, click Third Base - Error, it will ask who made the error, click 3rd base, then Held up for the runner.

This will wind up with runners on 1st and 3rd, and one error will be assigned to the 3rd baseman.

I'm new to scoring, and in thinking about it, I'm not even sure how to score this. I initially had the runner reaching first on a FC, but apparently that's incorrect because there has to be an out on a FC?? Does he reach 1B on the error and the runner is save at 3B on same error?

Thanks for any help.

So it is a fielders choice... ok then. Let me try that.

Thank you.

I scored it correctly now, but for some reason two errors are still showing in my box summary. I suppose I need to triple check and make sure I'm not missing an error somewhere else.

Thank you.
