Had Cabrera bunt down the third base line. The third basemen overran the ball and over threw the first basemen when he got to it. Cabrera would have clearly beat out the play even if the 3rd basemen didn't over run the ball because the 3b was slow to react, Cabrera was batting lefty, and he's fast. The ball sailed into the stands - they gave Cabrera 3rd base but no credit for a hit????
If the ball goes in the stands, you get two bases from the base that you were occupying when the throw left the fielder's hand. To give him 3rd would mean he already reached first before the 3b threw it. So either he should have been credited with a hit, or there should have been two errors on the play, one for the overrun of the bunt and one for the errant throw. no single and only one error is wrong in this case
