Scoring Issue

Here's the situation. 1-1 game, bottom 9, two outs. Runners on first and third.

Batter hits a ball into the gap, and in the play-by-play, is given credit for a triple. That would require two runners to cross the plate.

In the box score, 1 run is shown as scoring, as is correct. But the batter is also given credit for a triple. This can't be possible. The play ends when the winning run crosses the plate. I could maybe see a double, if it's a reeeeeaaaaally slow runner on third and the batter reaches 2nd before the run scores (yeah right). The batter should be awarded a single, 1 RBI. Or am I imagining things?

EDIT: BTW, this is with the first patch, not the beta patch.
