Could someone please explain this to me as I have always believed it to be one way but maybe I am wrong. This sequence happened against Indiana and Olson was credited with 5 unearned runs in this sequence.
Mathison flied out to cf. 1 out
Ellis reached on an error by 1B.
Doanes grounded out to 3b; Ellis advanced to second. 2 out
Murrison walked.
Johnson, M. singled to shortstop. Murrison advanced to second; Ellis advanced to third.
Whalen singled to right center, 2 RBI; Johnson, M. advanced to third; Murrison scored, unearned; Ellis scored, unearned.
Jessee walked; Whalen advanced to second.
Pyne doubled to right center, 3 RBI; Jessee scored, unearned; Whalen scored, unearned; Johnson, M. scored, unearned.
Tibbitts grounded out to p
I understand Ellis is unearned but there was only 1 out at the time. My understanding was the unearned runs only follow if there were 2 outs.
To me, it would seem there would be 4 earned runs and one unearned.
If the leadoff hitter get on via an error and the next guy hit a HR, one is earned and one is unearned, correct?
