Digging around in the text database didn’t yield me any good information. I’m pretty sure the fielding error is covered in a message from category 299 (ERROR_PUTOUT_INFIELD). Messages that involve a runner advancing to third are in category 14 (ADVANCE_BASE_3), and those that tell about a runner coming in to score are in category 15 (ADVANCE_BASE_HOME).

What I can’t figure out is why both of those categories were called as part of the same PbP sequence (if that’s what happened), and especially why category 15 was called if the runner didn’t actually score.

Or, it could be that either or both of the “runner advances” lines came from hard-coded text.

I can’t do anything about the phrasing of the game log or the discrepancy between the log and the PbP. I’ll put this into TT, and maybe Markus will see it and work some of his magic.

EDIT: TT #2527
