White Sox/Royals Final score ???/
- Thread starter yan can capp
- Start date
saw it on my Baseball package channel...think it was Fox sports chicago....anyways......they came back from a commercial and said the official score was 11-9.....sounds crazy to me how this can happen but thats what they said
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.
It all depends if the runner went across home plate. A few years ago I had the Mets -1.5 in the playoffs and they hit a 2-run homer but his teameates came on field and he never crossed home plate mets won by one and I lost my bet
mlb.com should have known about that rule --- maybe the official scorer had some ....................... not going to go there
