How do you quantify the credit for a double, triple and HR? At what piont does it become base on thrown ball. Does the credit stop after the ball is touched by the 1st defensive player?

Obvious: hit over a fence.
Obvious: no credit on Errors throwing or otherwise.

Thank you!!!!!! :D

If the scorer believes the runner could have been thrown out had the fielder chosen to throw the ball to the fielder who could have made the tag/force, then the batter-runner is credited with reaching the previous bag.

Ex: Batter singles to LF and reaches 2B because F7 chooses to throw to home plate. Batter is only credited with a single and advances to 2B on the throw.
