Reply to "Sac bunt?"

Rule 10.08 governs the scoring of sacrifice bunts, and the phrase "double play" doesn't occur in that rule.

If the batter is put out, was judged to be bunting for a sacrifice, and at least one runner advances one base, it is scored a sacrifice, except if any runner is put out before advancing one base.

Maybe the other scorer was confused and thinking of RBIs. A batter is not credited with an RBI if he grounds into double play.
