How was Craig Biggio's 3000th hit scored?
If I recall correctly, he laced a ball to second field, and was thrown out trying to reach second (centerfielder threw to second baseman to tag him sliding into second). So how was this hit scored under official scoring standards? Would it have been a 1B, 8-4?
EDIT: Yes, should have been "center field," not "Second field." 'Twas a typo and brainfart all in one, it was.

He did get a hit to center field and was thrown out at second base.. but he was actually tagged by the shortstop who was covering 2nd, so the scoring would be a single, 1B, and thrown out at 2nd, 8-6. The person who used "CS" is incorrect.. CS stands for caught stealing, and Biggio was not caught stealing on the play.. trying to stretch a hit from a single to a double and getting thrown out is not considered trying to steal. Just like if he had succeeded and been safe, he would not have been given a SB, it would merely be a double.

Still got two hits following that at-bat. Regardless of whether the official scoring wasn't a hit, what IS official is - Biggio's a 3,000-hit man.

That's what I would think, but I can't say for sure. I assume you've looked online but to no avail.
