Dice roll

What was the actual dice roll for Babe Ruth facing Ted Abernathy in the top of the 8th. The play by play shows 2-6, but it is listed as a ground out 1b.

I see a home run on 2 - 6 too. Strange.

Some kind of secret shift rule?

To make matters worse, it was a ground out to 1B. Only one problem, there are NO ground outs to 1B on Ruth's card (at least vs. RHP's)

That doesn't sound right at all. But I do know that they run all the plus rules in 365 and one of them is an option for the defensive team to guard the lines late, which can turn some doubles into ground outs. I think it also turns some Gb(a) outcomes into base hits. Seems more logical that that was what occurred.

Yes. This was definitely a case of guarding the lines
