How can a SS make an error if not on the X chart?

*** BOTTOM OF INNING 9 ***
0 T.Haller 7 Walk b-1
0 1 J.Tartabull 6 Single (RF) 1-3 b-1
SUBSTITUTE PH- Norm Miller
0 1 3 N.Miller 5 Single (SS) 3-H 1-3 b-1 gb(SS)x
0 1 3 T.Taylor 1 1 Base Error - SS 3-H 1-2 b-1

In some rules settings it allows errors on bunt plays. I don't think this option is in force for ATG 6, but ya never know. It may have simply truncated the PBP since this was the last play of the game. They have a lot of problems with that.

For instance:

For a long time, they have used the lineout(%) symbol on the cards to have the game generate a random fielder to record the putout. In the current version of the game, the on-screen PBP will read something like "great play by %", but the box score at the end of the game will have a lineout to one or the other positions listed.

My conclusion is that they are getting the cart before the horse in their programming logic. This may be another example.
