Nobody out, men on 1st and 3rd. The hitter hits a weak humpback liner to 2nd base and and the 2nd baseman looked the guy back to 1st and seemed to forget about the guy at 3rd. The guy at 3rd takes off down the line and scores when the throw came in a little late. There was absolutely NO ERROR on the play. Here is the question....Is it a sac fly? If not, how else do you score it?

It can't be an infield fly with runners on 1st and 3rd and the 2nd baseman caught the ball so the hitter was out.

No it is a fielder's choice. It is not a steal because the ball is in play and a sacrifice fly HAS to go to the outfield. It is not an infield fly rule, because that only happens when there are runners on 1st and 2nd or bases loaded. All's that really happened is the second baseman didn't pay attention but yet caught the fly ball for an out. So if there is an out but no error its a fielders choice.

since the batter is not out and the 2nd baseman decide to throw the ball to home instaed of 1st, the official line for the batter is 0-0 RBI firlders choice, he is 0-0 cause it's almost like a sac fly but the never travelled out of the infield.

Sac fly. Just like if the first or third baseman had made a diving catch going away from the infield in foul territory. Scoring does not always have to be fair.

If he caught it on the fly then the guy on 3rd probably got either a run or steal but it does sound like a sac fly. .It wouldn't be considered an error because while stupid the guy with the ball did nothing wrong officially.

I would score it as an RBI, because the run was batted in. Not an error because you cannot assume the double play. There could be a good argument made for stealing home, also.

it is not a sac fly due to infield fly rule, the scoring would be the runner advanced on the put out.

Infield fly rule, the batter is out and runners may advance at their own risk.

it's a fielder's choice. gutsy move by the runner on 3rd, and chalk up a brainfart for the fielder.
