Another scoring bug - this one has to do with RBI and how they are awarded, as well as how to score things for the batter when there is an error on the play.

Runner at second, one out. Next batter bunts to the pitcher. Pitcher throws the ball away. At the end of the play, the batter is on second base and the runner on second has scored.

This should be scored as a sacrifice bunt plus a two-base error on the pitcher, and no RBI should be credited to the batter. If the play had gone as it should have the batter would have sacrificed the runner to third and would be out himself.

OOTP scores this as an out (not a sacrifice) for the batter, and an RBI for the batter. Both of these are wrong.
