Seems (seems) like the runner on 1st should have been out trying to steal, or no better than safe at 2nd,
and an error should've been charged for his advance to 3rd.
Without the error, scorer can't assume he would've scored from 2nd on the hit, regardless of defensive
positioning, and thus the run is unearned.
Just the instinct here... would like to hear the take from official scorers on board...
