Played game "ghost runner" bug

mtw · 05-14-2004, 02:40 AM

Inning progresses as follows:

Single, man on 1st-no runs
Line out into DP, 2 out and nobody on-no runs
Double, 2 out, man on 2nd-no runs
Fly out, 3 outs-no runs

Result should be no runs.

However, I've now seen this exact scenario twice, and the result is that the player who hit the double drove in the guy who was doubled off first. It seems the runner's ghost is left on base, and that guy is given credit for a run scored and the guy who hit the double is given an RBI.

Does this affect the game score? Or, is a run being credited to the runner in the box score, but not on the team score?

Either way, it's a bug. But the first type is worse than the second, IMO.

Both. One run in the game score and one in the box score.
