Text	[reporting on the AA annual meeting 12/10-12/11] The scoring rules were left intact, but the following definitions and instructions were unanimously agreed upon: All “battery errors” are to go in the summary and to be excluded from the error column. A wild pitch is a battery error, even if it lets in a run. A passed ball is a battery error, even if it lets in a run. A missed third strike which allows the batsman to make first base is a passed ball, and therefore a battery error. A base given on balls, or by hitting the batsman with the ball is a battery error. When the batsman misses the third strike and reaches first base through no fault of the pitcher, the pitcher is to be credited in the summary with a “struck out.
