How does a team get a hit with the bases loaded, but does not score?

Answer 1

easily. they throw it to home and get the guy out. still counts as a hit ya know..

Answer 2

They're NOT hits.

With the bases loaded, the defence would likely be throwing home. With an out recorded, the batter -runner reached on a fielders choice, NOT a hit. Anything other than outs at home mean that a run scores.

One July evening, way back in his rookie season, Mike Timlin came into the game with the bases loaded, in the bottom of the 11th inning at Kansas City. He faced three batters, each of whom hit the ball to an infielder. The fielders all went home, so all 3 outs were recorded at the plate, and all three batters reached on fielders choices.

For a definition of a fielder's choice, see chapter 2.0 of the rulebook.

Answer 3

It is not possible. If you get the runner out at home plate, then it is scored a fielder's choice (or a double play, if you get someone else out at the same time). No hit would be rewarded to the batter. In order to get a base hit, everyone else would have to move up at least one base, which means a runner would be forced to score. If the runner coming home misses the plate, and is tagged out or appealled out, then the run doesn't count, and the hit is disallowed.

Answer 4

yeah like the first person says. Lets say the guy on third is pretty slow. So when the guy from the opposing team pick up the ball he throws it home and there are 2 out, so the man on third can only start running now, when the ball is thrown, and the thow is good and gets there before the slow guy does. The bases are still loaded, but there is another out, which in this case would be the end of the inning.

Answer 5

Ball is hit on the ground to the outfield.A trailing runner rounds either second or third and is then tagged out for the third out before then runner from third reaches home.That would be a hit and a put out,and the run would not score.

Answer 6

There is only one way this could happen.

If the hitters hits a ball that hits the runner on 3rd in the field of play, the ball is ruled dead, the hitter is awarded first and the other men on base advance, except for the runner on third, who is called out.

In any other circumstance, if a runner is called out, the batter does not get credit for a hit. If the ball strikes a runner in foul territory, the ball is called foul.

Answer 7

The batted ball hits a runner in fair territory before a defensive player has had a chance to make a play on the ball. Plunked runner is out, batter is credited a single, baserunners behind the plunked runner advance one base, baserunners ahead of him do not. Single, bases still full (unless it was the third out of the inning), one more out for the defense, no runs score.

Happened in a Seattle at Texas game last year.

Edit: Found it. 10-August-2006, Mariners at Rangers, bottom of the 7th. With one out, bases empty, Lee singled, Teixeira walked, Blalock singled -- bases now loaded. Mariners changed pitchers. DeRosa hit a soft liner -- more like a tiny fly ball, as I recall watching the highlights -- that hit Teixeira on the back as he tried to duck. 3B Beltre was the closest fielder and got credit for the putout. DeRosa to first, Blalock forced to advance to second, Lee required to stay on third, two outs.

The Rangers then scored one run on a HBP before recording the third out.

Answer 8

I believe that there is only one way.

If the batter hits the ball in play and it hits a base runner the ball is dead meaning that the man on third has to stay there. The runner that the ball hits is out. The batter gets to go to first base and is credited with a single.

Answer 9

The baseball after being hit could hit a baserunner causing a dead ball. The scoring I believe is considered a hit and the runners return to their base.

Answer 10

1. Someone gets a hit but runner at third is called out for running out of the base line

2. Someone gets a hit but runner at second somehow passes the runner at third but goes back to third because the ball has been thrown to home.



If there was a hit into the outfield and he is thrown out at home it would count as a fielders choice

Answer 11

If you throw the guy out at home its not a hit. The only way it can happen is if the runner misses home plate and is thrown out after the runner at first is safe.
