A baseball scoring question

    Runner would have been out by 10 feet if the SS had just thrown the ball. Runner was halfway between 3rd and home when the SS started running at him. His team had a big lead anyway so the runner just bolted for home. He wasn't trying to get in a rundown or anything. All SS had to do was make a simple, easy throw and the runner's out.

    I know what I saw. I just don't know why it was scored the way it was. Again, my baseball/sports logic apparently clashes with the official scoring rules.

    Where was the runner when the ball actually got to the catcher?

    If the SS's hesitation was the problem, rather than just a bad throw, that's not an error.
