Second column hits?
-
Custom SA93 rolls a 6 and 6
It’s a 0 on Terry STEINBACH’s card.Custom SA93 rolls a 3 and 4
It’s a 7 on Terry STEINBACH’s card.
Result: SINGLE to right; one scores; other to third (AGAINST GRADE A,A & C or A & B PITCHERS, see result NO. 28 below)
It’s a Hit and Run. Terry STEINBACH grounds to Barry LARKIN who makes the easy play to first.
It is the top of the 8th -
Actually, the result was correct. The second column number is used vs the h&r chart. So, a second column result of a “7” would be modified against the pitcher’s grade. It was a correct result IMHO. Hope this helps.

This would appear to be a game-play issue which should probably be looked at by the GO Support crew.
According to the H&R playing boards (both old and recent versions), second-column 7’s, 8’s and 11’s are not affected by a pitcher’s grade.
To quote my 2013 H&R game board, “When these numbers come up in the second column, treat them as though a Grade D Pitcher is pitching. This is true for all base situations.”
So, on GO, if a second-column 7 is resulting in a H&R out against an A Pitcher, that’s something which should be addressed. -
so agreed second column single H/R should not be effected by pitchers grade so in this case vs A* pitcher should have been a hit not out and end of inning.
Maybe folks can watch for this. I play a lot and don’t ever remember it happening but you can see the result above it happened. -

Except H&R is not a base situation, it’s treated as a separate entity, just like bunts. Take a look at your bunting/H&R sections of the the playing boards… are there pitching grades at the top? No, so the result is read from the number generated. Nowhere does it say to refer to the original base situation boards. You use the H&R section.

@jsbennett Not sure how old your H&R boards are, but mine (from 2013) are definitely affected by Pitcher’s grades.
For Runner on First: #'s 7, 8 and 9.
For Runners on 1st & 3rd: #'s 7, 8, 9, 10.
Even my ancient 1973 booklet has Pitcher’s grades altering H&R results. (Bunts, no, you’re correct about that. But Hit & Run results… definitely.) -
on another note
with new boards and 13 being a caught stealing. HR becomes a double and second column hits turn to outs why would you ever H/R? seems more negative than positive unless the guy up is Brian Harper circa 1990’s with 3- 31’s and about 6 -24’s !
