Inserted as a pinch runner.

Oh, catcher's interference.
Played with a guy who made that an art.

You're not awarded a base as a batter

You got it Cuffed.

Okay...
Runner's interference where the ball in play hits a base runner and the bater is then awarded a hit (so there's actually a "hit" but not in the general sense, and the runner is out)

By a "balk" where the pitcher performs an illegal move on the pitcher's mound (dirt) or on the rubber where there are 3 balls in the count, with a "ball" added to the count...again, another "walk" if you will, but not in the general sense.

I'm sure I'll edit again....

Umpire's Interference, but then again, a "hit" is awarded.

Much of this is for the scorekeeper.

There's always in every decent scorebook a section for notes.

Runner hit by ball is questionable. Could have been a hit or error if runner wasn't hit by ball. The balk is a good one. It's now 8 ways Although that is technically a walk

That was too easy. Thanks for playing
