Sacrifice scoring error by game

Gastric ReFlux · 06-02-2006, 08:17 PM

I've seen this occur twice now.

A runner is on 3rd base, and a pitcher is at the plate.

The pitcher bunts, is retired at first, the runner does not score. The game credits the pitcher with a sacrifice when none should be.

Here is directly from the game log:

Bottom of the 2nd - Philadelphia Athletics batting - Pitching for Detroit Tigers : LHP L. Thomas
Batting: LHB E. Orsatti 0-0: Ground out 3-0 (Groundball, 3L)
Batting: RHB R. Dorman 0-0: Ball
1-0: Ball
2-0: Foul Ball
2-1: TRIPLE (Flyball, 9LM)
Batting: RHB E. Myers 0-0: Bunt missed, Strikeout!
0-1: Sac Bunt - play at first, batter OUT!

Just noticed this from the log too, why is the game saying Strikeout after the missed bunt attempt on the first pitch?
