Runner on first and Third question

BPDad, how did the runner on third get there?  Did he reach on an error, walk, hit?  In my opinion, if the R3 got on base without an error, I would score the run as a steal of home which would be an earned run.  If he reached on an error then different story.  Also, there's no error with the runner tagged at first just like you have it.   The fielders might have been sloppy in missing a tag, etc., they still kept the runner from advancing to second and made the out. 

He got on at the pitchers expense it was a bb.  I already changed it as the more i stewed on it the more it should have been an Earned run I just needed someone to agree.lol

You prolly would get a better response if you had put this in the Statistics & Scorekeeping forum.

I’m not sure why GC would have called it a UER when there was no error marked. Sounds like you need to check closely what you marked, and if you still don’t figure out why, contact GC.

But those things aside, the ol’ 1^st and 3^rd play causes everyone trouble sooner or later. Maybe it will help if we forget about the runner on 3^rd for the time being, and think about the play as though it were just an aborted stolen base.

R1 takes off for 2^nd and let’s say he trips and falls down. When he realizes he’s dead meat at 2^nd as the pitcher steps off and throws there, he stops and gets in a rundown. F4 takes the throw, then throws to F3. F3 throws back to F4 who attempts a tag but misses. Runner heads back to 1^st, and F4 tags him on the 2^nd attempt. Now we’ve got something simple, there’s a PO that goes, 1-4-3-4. IOW, the pitcher gets an assist, the 2^nd baseman gets an assist, the 1^st baseman gets an assist, and the 2^nd baseman gets the put out, and the runner is charges with a CS.

Now let’s put the runner back on 3^rd. Since R1 was caught stealing, the runner on 3^rd can’t be credited with a SB. But, since every base has to be accounted for, he scores on an FC. Assuming he got there without the aid of an error, the run is earned.
