How does a 1 on defence...

give up a single?

I have Barry Larkin at ss, a 1e20, I was looking over a game I lost. It was the bottom of the 9th and the inning went like this:

1st batter - Flyout
2nd batter - Walk
3rd batter - Single (off a gb(ss)x)
4th batter - Home Run

I was leading by 1 run, so lost by 2 runs.

Shouldn't this be a gbA double play end of inning?

unless it is an error doesn't a 1 at ss only have gbA as a result? or am I missing something?

Special circumstances in the super advanced game are as follows:

(23.81) A runner may be held on base when the infield is playing Back. Additionally in Super Advanced Play, any runner may be held when the infield is playing the Corners In.

(23.82) Depending on the runner's base, he is held on by different fielders. Consult the RUNNER BEING HELD CHART on Page 15 to determine who has responsibility for holding the runner (the fielder covering the runner's current base and, if the potential steal is at second base, the infielder who would be taking the throw from the catcher).

(NOTE: Use the Runner Being Held Chart to determine the infielders responsible for holding runners, which supercedes the table titled, "Super Advanced Holding Runner Chart" on the Super Advanced Fielding Chart.)

(23.83) When an infielder is responsible for holding a runner and a gb()X is hit to him, add 1 to that fielder's range rating. Example: With a runner held at first and a lefthanded hitter at the plate, a shortstop rated 2e20 becomes 3e20. The maximum range rating is 5.

Here is a link to the full board game rules (the runners being held cart is 1/3 of the way down the page):

Thanks for explaining that to me. Seems strat's super advanced rules doesn't make the game any better, just makes it much more complicated in many ways.
