Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Bob Gibson throws the first ever 500 mph fastball and Dihigo BUNTS it out of the ballpark.

This reminds be of some of my nine-year-old softball games, where a tapper back to the mound is tossed over the first-baseman's head, and three miscues later that batter scores.

That's not a home run, though. Wonder how this happened?

The only explanation is that the bunt roll went to Gibson's card - 6-10 Fly CF(X), and a triple turned into a inside the park HR...?

Uh-oh! Was Curt Flood playing CF and ran in on the ball? Deja vu all over again!!!

Looks like Cobb was in CF. I seem to remember a story about the time he was finishing a hot dog when the ump yelled "Play Ball". Cobb being the man that he was decided he would not start playing until he was good and ready.

Here is SOM response to this.
This is certainly one of the weirder errors the play by play has shown. The actual dice roll was 1-5 so the end result was correctly shown as a HR. We're looking into the display issue to correct this.
