An RBI is awarded when a run scores as a direct outcome of the batter making contact. Scoring on some fielding errors or a double play doesn't give an RBI.

Edit: it's in the official rules - 10.04 if you want to look it up.

I thought BrokenBat did (errantly) award RBIs on double plays. Either I got that wrong or it was fixed somewhere along the way.

I recall this getting fixed shortly after I started playing the game, so it's been some time :)
