Version: 2.0.0.37
PC/MAC: PC
What were you doing? Playing out a game, actively managing.

Here is a summary of the scoring:

Bottom of the 9th, 2 Outs, Score Tied 4-4. Bases Loaded.

Batting: RHB F. Gonzáles
0-0: Ball
1-0: TRIPLE (Line Drive, 78D)
A. Luna scores
Game Over ... Eugene defeats Tri-City, 5 to 4

This game winning hit should be scored as a SINGLE not a TRIPLE.

Reproducible? Unknown

Not that you asked, but someone in my original thread posted the actual rule... so I thought I'd bring it over:

Quote:

GAME-ENDING HITS
(f) Subject to the provisions of 10.07 (g), when the batter ends a game with a safe hit which drives in as many runs as are necessary to put his team in the lead, he shall be credited with only as many bases on his hit as are advanced by the runner who scores the winning run, and then only if the batter runs out his hit for as many bases as are advanced by the runner who scores the winning run. NOTE: Apply this rule even when the batter is theoretically entitled to more bases because of being awarded an “automatic” extra-base hit under various provisions of Playing Rules 6.09 and 7.05. (g) When the batter ends a game with a home run hit out of the playing field, he and any runners on base are entitled to score.

Interesting. I did not know that was the case, but it makes sense. Anyway, it's been given TT#3302. Thanks for bringing it up.
