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. Dan Van Handel

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? Jon Hanrath ihnp4!ltuxa!jmh

Because the scoring is a force out and the sixth man goes home without a hit and a little bit peaved at his teammate. -- John B. Lo Coco (...mhuxl!ogre) (...szuxn!ogre) 1-201-467-7436

< 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. 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. Mark Nevar
