Question when you are scoring a baseballl game on a scorecard and the batter reaches base safely on an error, does that at-bat count as 0-1 or 0-0?
Answer Kenny,
Unfortunately, it counts as an at-bat and the player is 0-for-1. The one exception is if the batter is awarded first on catcher's interference. In that case, the catcher is charged with an error and no at-bat is credited to the hitter.
