unearned
unearned
adj.
not given in exchange for working; undeserved, unmerited; not having been earned yet
Earned run
In
baseball, an
earned run is any
run that was not necessarily enabled by a fielding
error or a
passed ball. In other words, an
unearned run is one
run that would not have been scored without the aid of an error or a passed ball committed by the defense, and an earned run is simply one that is not unearned. An error made by the pitcher in fielding at his position is counted the same as an error by any other player.
