But going back to the OP, I think we all can agree that more detail in the pbp could be a good thing.
My operating assumption is that the GB to the pitcher looked like a catch, freezing the runner at 3B. This would be enough to have no run score. I can also think of many players IRL that run poorly enough and/or have poor baserunning skills that would not score unless told to go on contact. Does the in game menu allow you to sent the runner at 3B independent of the runner at 1B? If so then sending the runner at 3B = "go on contact" and the run scores independent of the actual play outcome. IRL I would think that " go on contact" would have to be on (ie a proactive choice) for the run to score every time.
