Scoring Question: Runner advances to 2B on an E and is batted in - is it an earned ru

[left turn]

No outs
Batter One hits a single
Batter Two hits a pop fly to left field that is dropped – Error on left fielder
Batter One advances to second on the error. Two runners on, no outs

Situation A:
Batter Three hits a single. Batter One scores from second base
Inning ends with three strikeouts
Question: Since Batter One advanced to second base on an error, is this an earned run?

Situation B
Batter Three hits a double. Both runs score
Inning ends with three strikeouts
Same Question: Since Batter One advanced to second base on an error, is this an earned run?

 

[Sweet Lou]

situation A - unearned

situation B - runner who reached on dropped ball is unearned, other run in inning earned (presumably she would have scored from 1st anyway since the runner on 1st did score from 1st on the play).

Lou is correct, IMO.

 

[left turn]

So the idea here is that if the error had no impact on the outcome, then the run is earned. Correct?

Essentially, yes.
