BZ 1877: Minor bug - cutoff throw on game-ending play

orwell · 08-16-2008, 10:09 PM

Minor and probably rare, but in this situation it was bottom of the ninth, no outs, tie game, runners on first and second. The batter hit a single to the outfield, the runner on second attempted to score the winning run. The throw came to the plate, as would be expected, but was cutoff in a (successful?) effort to get the trailing runner at third. See below
