Bases laoded, one out. Batter bunts with the intention of a sac. Bunt ends up in dead man's land between the catcher, pitcher and 3rd baseman. No play is made anywhere. Is this a hit or sac? Thanks

You'll find scorekeepers on both sides of this. I call this a hit. However, if I feel the fielder didn't throw because he didn't want to risk a different runner moving, it's not a hit, it's a SAC and and FC.
