Run down situation

YHF100+ posts

I think this is my last question.

Two similar rundown situations to cover here.

1. R3 and two outs. Pitch gets away from the catcher a bit and R3 breaks down the line. Catcher recovers and throws to 3B getting R3 in a rundown. Rundown covers about 5-6 throws and eventually R3 slides home safely. No balls were thrown away, we just didn't execute correctly and the final throw from the SS to the catcher was a little high and he was not able to tag the runner before slid home.

Is this automatically an error on somebody since a properly executed run down would have resulted in an out? Could it be scored as anything other than an error? Stolen base? That seems unlikely to me.

2. Same basic situation except in this case R3 gets back into third safely during the rundown. R3 does not score during the inning as the batter is retired with a K on the next pitch.

Is the rundown scored differently if it did not result in a run being scored?

Thanks.
