[net.sport.baseball] Six hits & no runs

How about this for a possible explanation!!!

With pick-off plays and batted balls hitting runners (which are scored as
HITS) there are many combinations that could produce six hits and no runs.

How about if six singles occur, two men are thrown out stealing,
and the last man (who "scored" on the sixth single) missed home
base, and the appeal stuck?  Does the sixth man still get credit
for a single?

NO! Because the scoring is a force out and the sixth man goes home
without a hit and a little bit peaved at his teammate.

Batted balls hitting runners will work, but NOT pick-off plays.
All a pick-off play gets you is an additional out, WITHOUT a hit.
What you need is 3 hits and then 3 more hits that also produce three outs
as I explained in a previous posting.
