Sacrifice
Posted: Sun Feb 27, 2011 8:41 am
Do I need to specifically pick "Sacrifice Fly" when it's a sacrifice fly? Or, does iScore figure that out based on when I select, for example, "runner at third made it home, advanced by batter"?

Yes, it is still considered an sac bunt. By rule, a sacrifice bunt requires intent on the part of the batter (as judged by the scorer). Since the batter intended to sacrifice and reached due to error, it is still a sac and not an AB.J-Man wrote:Now that we opened up this thread again...if the batter attempts a sacrifice bunt, advances the runner, but reaches first base on an error...is it still considered a "sacrifice bunt" (i.e., won't count as an AB), or does it count as an AB and reaching first on an error?
Thanks for this insight, we had this happen too. So, do you record an error against any player? I don't see how you can. My 9 year old son actually came up with this hypothetical scoring question. I am raising his allowance.PetroGuy wrote:Yes, it is still considered an sac bunt. By rule, a sacrifice bunt requires intent on the part of the batter (as judged by the scorer).
