Credit RBI

1.) This is a tough call between 1 and 0, without looking up a specific rule reference, I credit one RBI on the assumption that if the ball is played cleanly it results in a single out at first and not an out at home. You could argue no advance would've happened if ball handled cleanly, but I give the benefit of the doubt to the offensive player. No way its two though.

2. Credit RBI.

1) I gotta say with bases loaded, all runners are taking off on the grounder. Had it been fielded cleanly, the run would score anyway, unless the fielder decided to throw it home. For the second run, no RBI because no base coach in their right mind would be waving on a runner from second on a fielded infield hit. Credit the runner an RBI for R3 and a base on error (I would score it as FCE5f).

2)RBI and base on error (E5f).

Thanks guys. That's what I would have thought also. Scorekeeping in this summer league is a little suspect at best. Batter was the same kid in both situations, two different games, and got no RBI either situation.

I agree that the coach wouldn't have been waving the R2 had it been fielded cleanly, just that there was no stopping or hesitation. He wasn't near third yet when it went off the SS, it was just good coaching and baserunning. As it turned out, the two runners scored and BR wound up on 2nd and R1 on 3rd.

So it did get scored an error. IMO, a good team knows how to capitalize on errors. Sounds like this team turned an out (possible double play) into 2 runs and put 2 more in scoring position.

I've been scoring games this week at the Jr. Sunbelt tournament. It's been a breath of fresh air as these kids are making some great plays and all errors (except for my kid's) have been errors of agression. Makes keeping the book pretty easy work.
