Reply to "How to score"

Texan - if it is a FC, does the batter also get credit for a Sac? No runner advanced, so I think not. But I also don't think the batter should be penalized with an at bat since he did his job and got a good bunt down.

In this particular case, the pitcher fielded the bunt, looked at the runner from third and cocked his arm, but did not make any other attempt to get the runner from third. When he then checked the batter, he did not make attempt at first because the batter was only a step away. If the pitcher had thrown to home in an attempt to get the runner from third and the runner from third had safely retreated to third - then how is that scored? I know it is a FC, but does the hitter get credited with a Sac also?
