Inserting a pinch runner


 

 

To insert a pinch runner into a game press the W key. The Insert Pinch Runner dialog will appear. 

 

1) Select the player you want to insert from the displayed roster.

2) Select the runner you want to replace (1st, 2nd or 3rd).

3) Select the slot you want to place the pinch runner in on the scoresheet.

4) Press Enter.

 

 

Slots

If you know the pinch runner will not bat during the entire game then place him in the #8 slot.

 

If you know the pinch runner will stay in the game and possibly bat for the runner he replaced then place him in the #2 slot (or the first empty slot).

 

Courtesy Runners

Courtesy Runners are treated a little differently in BallScore because they may already be in the game. If the Courtesy runner is already in the batting order somewhere else then place him using the directions above. This will tell the scoring cell who the runner is. The player will now appear twice on the scoresheet, once in his batting position and once as a pinch runner. Use the RLM to remove the player entirely from his pinch runner slot since a player should only appear once on a scoresheet. This will not affect the stats because the needed information is still stored in the scoring cell.
