Did not happen in a game just thinking in my head. Is this scenario a single or double.
1 hopper through the infield, left fielder fields the ball cleanly and throws the ball to the shortstop, who cuts the ball off. Shortstop then throws the ball to the 2nd baseman. The hitter is a fast player and rounds first base aggressively. When she notices the throw to the shortstop she takes 2nd base. The hitter is safe on the play.
How would you score this play?
1- Double and good base running.
2- Single and runner advances on the throw
3- Single and a error
I do not think there can be an error on that play so I would say #3 is the least likely scoring.
I can see both #1, or #2 being correct. I am leaning towards #1
