I believe Broken Bat method of deciding a run is unearned does not match baseball rules. The variance occurs when a runner scores after what would have been the third out if an error had not happened in the inning.

According to wikipedia:

A run is counted as unearned when...

A baserunner scores by any means after the third out would have been made except for an error other than catcher's interference...



I noticed this in the second inning of a spring training game where the pitcher was assigned one earned run and one unearned when indeed both should have been unearned. Here is the inning:

Top 2nd: Biloxi
Linton takes the mound to pitch.
Melvin draws a walk.
Biggs reaches on an error by right field Barrett. Melvin advances to third base.
Diaz grounds to third base. Diaz is thrown out at first by Solorio. Melvin comes in to score. Biggs advances to third base.
Chavez pops out to second base.
O`Donnell hits a double to left field. Biggs comes in to score.
Baez strikes out.
Biloxi 2, Charleston 2


Game: Spring Training [#3915181]

the run scored by Melvin, who led off with a walk, was scored as earned. It should be unearned i believe as per the above rules

programming for that is probably too complicated given the staffing of BrokenBat.

Melvin run is earned, Biggs is unearned...Broken Bat got it right.
