Bulls Baseball wins again, 9-8!

Actually, you can give a fielder's choice without an error, but NOT in that situation. One common example comes when runners are at first and second and the batter grounds to shortstop. The shortstop fields the ball cleanly and throws accurately to third, but the runner beats the play. Fielder's choice, no error given. If the shortstop bobbles the ball or throws it poorly or if the third baseman drops the ball, then you have an error. If in the judgment of the scorer, the shortstop could not have thrown out the batter, you have a hit.

But Collin is dead on -- you can't have a fielder's choice when the play is at first. It must be a hit or error.

It's a tough job to score -- especially at Red McEwen during a dry year like this one.

well, point is....it wasnt a "fielding error"  it was a mental mistake that got an error on a scorers technicality.
