8 innings and no hits. So the Dodgers get a couple of walks.

Since they are no hit, the Dodgers decide to waste an out and sacrifice the guy over to third.

Good move. There are 9 ways to score from third with less than two outs.

So, the guy hits a short fly to left. Sac fly is one way to score. Since you are no hit through 8 this is why you sacrificed the guy to third.

So, the coach holds the dude. No attempt to score!!!

What, you need a base hit for him to score??? Why did you sacrifice him to third?? No hits through 8.

Tag him up and send him in!!!It takes a perfect throw to get him. No hits through 8!!!

UGH

There are 9 ways to score from 3rd with less than two outs?

Here are the ones I came up with:

1. Wild pitch
2. passed ball
3. balk
4. batter grounds out
5. batter flies out, sacrifice fly
6. runner steals home
7. base hit

If the bases are loaded, then the man on 3rd scores on a walk. Is that one of the 9 ways?

Please help us out, what other ways can you score from 3rd?
