Tagged Out Rounding First
HuskyLife from Ontario asks:
In Major League Baseball, if the hitter rounds first and gets tagged on his way to second is it scored as a single?
Yes, the batter is credited with a single because he reached first safely. Whatever happened after reaching first safely, in this case getting tagged rounding the bag, is irrelevent in this situation.
