I haven't researched this (yet), but...
-is it possible that it is because of an adjustment from the defense playing a "guarding the line" strategy? This seems unlikely, but I thought I would throw that out to the group. I believe HAL does use this strategy, even though you can't see it in the game write ups. I am not sure if you would use this strategy or not with no-one on base. I am also not sure how this would affect the play on an x chart result. I will see if I can find anything on this.
-is it possible that it is from a "random play" off the X chart? If you roll a 5 with the three dice on an x chart roll, it results in a random play. I will look at the x chart tonight to see if that could possibly result in a single.
