Why that “home run” wasn’t scored an error is a mystery
*********************************************************************
Errors and base hits are a whole lot different from what they used to be. It benefits both the batter and the defender to call an error a base hit.
Inside the park home runs seem to be scored that way even if a similar play on a shorter hit would have been ruled an error if the base runner ended up on second or third. I’ve noticed that for years, but I’ve never asked if there is a rule that covers this.
