Text | [from the AA scorers' instructions] If the catcher drop or pass the ball on a fourth strike when the bases are not occupied by base runners and cannot recover it in time to throw the runner out at first, it counts as an error, but if he recovers the ball in time and throws it to first base properly, and the baseman fails to make the put out, the basemen gets the error and the catcher gets credit for an assist; all this on the principle that only one error can be counted where only one base is made. In all the above cases the pitcher must get credit in the summary for a strike out. |
