Looking for an independent opinion to settle a scoring dispute with our scorekeeper....
Here is the situation, no outs, R1 on first base. B2 squares to bunt, and bunts the ball to the 3rd baseman. Third baseman fields the ball cleanly and throws to first. The throw is deemed to beat the runner, but first baseman drops the ball, so B2 is safe at first. R1 advances to second base on the play.
How should this be scored?
1. B2 reached on error, now batting 0 for 1
2. B2 reached on SH (sacrifice hit, i.e. sacrifice reached on error), now bating 0 for 0 with sacrifice
