sac fly...into a double play.

[apolivka]

Matt Holliday managed a sac fly that ended up scoring a run yet cost his team two outs in a game last night. Looks like they gave him the RBI as well--I guess the official scorer assumes a base running blunder by the fleet footed Lou Marson. :p

1 1 3 M.Holliday 2-9 Sac Fly (RF) Double Play 3-H 1-o b-0 F9

On second thought, Lou Marson appears to be one of the better stealing catchers in the set!

But only 1-11 running.

Is your team running set to aggressive?

That's not an unusual play. The likely scenerio is that on the throw home the runner at first had tagged up to go to second. The throw home was cut-off and therefore the baserunner from first was nailed. Many times the baserunner (on first) will intentionally do this to draw a throw and assure the runner from third scores.
