Baseball Scoring Rules on Third Strike and Errors
The text explains that a bunted foul on the third strike is an out, while a fair bunt on the third strike makes the batter a baserunner. If a ground ball to short is mishandled, the batter may get a hit or the shortstop an error depending on whether the official scorer would have ruled an out on clean handling. If the ball contacts the batsman's clothing on the third strike, the batter is out and baserunners cannot advance.
