DP error

I don't recall the players involved, but I played a game with the following situation. Runner on 1st, no outs, contact hitter at the plate. I sent the runner on a hit & run but unfortunately the result was a line drive right at the third baseman. The pbp said the runner is too far off base and he was tagged out for the double play. I'd like to think that my player can make it that far on a line drive, but I doubt it.

It's just a PbP error.. this thread got called at an inappropriate time... I've seen it too... given the way the game seems to be setup not sure that it could be changed.

The result of the play was correct, the game just grabbed the wrong text string..

Must be one slow line drive. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Isn't a hit&run when the batter is swinging at everything and the running is stealing? If not then that is something to be looked at.
