Who gets charged with the earned run?

Question

There is one out in the inning and no runners on base. The batter at the plate hits a double so now there is a man on second and 1 out. The pitcher is relieved. The relief pitcher throws a wild pitch allowing the runner to advance from 2nd to 3rd. The batter then hits a sacrifice fly to center field and the run scores. Is the run charged to the relief pitcher who threw the wild pitch allowing the runner to advance to third and then be sacrificed home, or is it charged to the original pitcher?

If you need to know what happened to the next batter, lets assume he grounded out to end the inning.

Answer 1

the pitcher who allowed the player who scored the run to reach base in the first place is responsible for that batter so he would be charged with the earned run unless, of course, the run becomes unearned through errors.

Answer 2

The first pitcher is charged with the earned run.  Wild pitches are never treated as errors, and there is no approved ruling in which such a scenario would change to whom the earned run would be charged.  Therefore, as unfair as it may seem, the relief pitcher could throw back to back wild pitches and the first pitcher would still be charged with an earned run.  See rule 10.16(g).

Answer 3

the original pitcher. he let the runner get on in the 1st place

Answer 4

the pitcher who gave up the double, not the reliever.

Answer 5

the first pitcher, because he is responsible for putting the runner who scored on base

Answer 6

With the ground out ending the inning it's an unearned run charged to the first pitcher.  If the next batter hits a double, it would be an earned run charged to the first pitcher.
