Question
How many ways can a player score from third base. I've come up with 9, but I've been told it's more than that.
Ryan,
I came up with thirteen, and a buddy came up with another for a total of fourteen. These answers assume there are less than two outs:
Base hit
Wild pitch
Passed ball
Sacrifice fly
Squeeze bunt
Fielder's choice
Ground out by batter
Balk by pitcher
Batter walked with bases loaded
Batter hit by pitch with bases loaded
Error on fielder
Steal of home
Interference by the catcher on a pitched ball with the bases loaded
Dropped third strike by catcher, batter reaches first safely
