I know for a fact that even speedy runners don't score every time from second on a hit to left. And there is nothing special about a hit to left, anyway. Runners should be able to score from second just as easily as hits to other reaches of the outfield. In real baseball they should score more often than hits to center or right simply because the leftfielder is often the fella with the weakest arm. Now, on going from 1st to third, hits to left ought to be more difficult to advance on, but going from second to home, there should be no difference other than the outfielder's arm.
