Thanks. I wondered if that might be the case, but it wasn't clear from the pbp.

Another ninth inning bug (from the same game, oddly enough):

Bottom of the ninth, tied 3-3. One out, runners at first and third. Runner at first breaks for second, catcher tries to throw runner out at second.

In reality, this would be a defensive indifference play, because the first baseman would be playing in and not holding the runner on. (Similarly, the middle infielders would be in.) The game gives the trailing runner a stolen base. Also, the catcher should never throw down to second on this play - it didn't make a difference to the outcome of my game, but I'd be very frustrated if the game ended on an error by the catcher here. (I'd be equally irritated if they threw the runner out, since the trailing runner doesn't matter and will only go to second because he isn't being held on.)
