Need Help interpreting Boxscore The Sequel
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2010 4:27 pmIn the following situation :
*** TOP OF INNING 6 ***
0 R.Martinez 4-7 Walk b-1
0 1 D.Jackson 1-5 Double (CF) 1-3 b-2
0 23 E.Sprague 4-3 Sac Fly & Error - RF 3-H 2-H b-2 fly(RF)x
Ed Sprague hits a Sac Fly to RF, there is an error and 2 runs score. This much I understand. I am confussed about the 'b-2' portion of the play. It was my understanding that in order for the Sac Fly to be official the out had to be made.
Is this correct or can a Sac Fly be made AND the batter still safely get on base? I checked the chart and it does not seem to metion anything about a Sac Fly.
