Now we are ready to score the Yankees in the bottom of the first inning. Tap "Done" to exit the Padre's Summary Form then tap "Home" to enter the Yankee's. Just as you did with the Padre's, tap the small square for Knoblauch in the 1st inning to get to the AtBat View for Knoblauch.

Knoblauch walked and stole second base. From this point forward we'll skip the pitches since we have already shown how these are scored. Tap home plate, tap "On", tap "BB" then "0". To advance Knoblauch to second base tap first base, tap "Base" then "SB".

Next, Jeter grounded out to Pitcher. Tap the down arrow to navigate to Jeter. Tap home plate, tap "Out", "Gnd", "1", "0" (rbi's). You are presented with a dialog box. Fill in Gr1-3 since Jeter grounded to pitcher and was thrown out at first base.

O'Neill reached first base safely on a throwing error by Caminiti, the Padre's third baseman. Navigate to O'Neill's at bat by tapping the down arrow. Tap home plate, tap "On" , tap "E" and at the dialog box enter E5 since the error was by the third baseman whose position is 5. Knoblauch scored on the error so navigate to his at bat by tapping the up arrow twice. Tap on second base, tap "Base", tap "E", then tap third base, tap "Base" and tap "E".  Note that you choose "E" and not "E+" for the base advances because there was a single error on the throw and you don't want the Padres to get charged with an additional error for each base that Knoblauch advances.  The diamond will fill in, signifying that Knoblauch scored. Serious error Caminiti!

When you advance Knoblauch to home, It's A Hit! puts up a dialog asking you if the run that you just scored was an earned run.

You tap "No" because Knoblauch scored on an error.  Knoblauch's at bat form now looks like this:

Also note that the Yankees, as the home team, now show a run in the score area in the lower right.

Next, Williams grounds out to pitcher and O'Neill advances to second on the play. To navigate from Knoblauch to Williams you might want to tap the down arrow three times or you might tap "Done" then tap on the square for Williams in the first inning. Once you are there, tap home plate, tap "Out", tap "Gnd", tap "2" and fill in "Gr1-3" in the dialog box. Now tap the up arrow to navigate to O'Neill. Tap first base, tap "Base", "FC" since he advanced the base on a fielder's choice of where to make the out.

Davis singles to center which scores O'Neill. Tap the down arrow twice to navigate to Davis. Tap home plate, tap "On", tap "1B" and tap "1" because Davis gets credited with an RBI. Let's say that you accidentally did not give Davis the RBI. You can undo an entry and fix it easily. After making the mistake Davis might show 0 RBIs as in the screen below.

To fix this, tap the Menu Button on your Palm device, tap "Remove Event", then tap "Remove Event" again. The first remove deletes the hit location and the second removes the single. You could also select the menu item "Remove All Events" instead of "Remove Event" twice.  Now tap home plate, "On", "1B", "1" and drag the hit location to center field. Now the entry for Davis is correct and looks like this:

This correction mechanism works for any events that you may enter by mistake.

Tap the up arrow twice to navigate to O'Neill. Tap second base, tap "Base", tap "Hit", tap third base, tap "Base", tap "Hit". The diamond will fill in signifying the O'Neill scored the Yankee's second run.  Since this run was earned, you tap "Yes" at the Earned Run dialog.

Martinez singles to right, advancing Davis to third. Tap "Done", tap the square for Maritinez in the first, tap home plate, tap "On", tap "1B", tap "0". Drag the hit location marker to right field. Tap the up arrow, tap first base, tap "Base", tap "Hit", tap second base, tap "Base", tap "Hit". Now Davis is on third.

Now Brosius singles to left, scoring Davis and advancing Martinez to second. Tap the down arrow twice. Tap home plate, tap "On", tap "1B", tap "1" (an RBI). Drag the hit to a location in left field where the ball was hit. Tap the up arrow to navigate to Martinez. Tap first base, tap "Base", tap "Hit". Tap the up arrow to navigate to Davis. Tap third base, tap "Base", tap "Hit", "Yes" to the Earned Run dialog and the diamond fills in.

Finally, to end the inning, Posada grounds out to second base. Tap the down arrow three times to navigate to Posada. Tap home plate, tap "Out", tap "Gnd", tap "3", tap "0" (RBIs) and fill in "Gr4-3" in the dialog box.   Notice that when the 3rd out is entered, the numbers of outs shown in the lower right wraps back around to 0 because you are now in the top of the 2nd inning with no outs.  Now tap done and you will see the Runs View for the Yankees showing what happened in the first inning. It looks like this:

You can quickly see in this form that Jeter, Williams and Posada made the outs. Three runs were scored, Martinez was left on second and Brosius was left on first. Finally, if you hit "Done" you can see that the box score has been updated showing the runs, hits and errors for the game as a whole to this point.
