Well, they committed 3 errors, and all of them led to runs scored. I
don't
know the actual statistics, but a rough guess would be that when you
commit
an error, half the times it doesn't lead to a score and half the times it
does. If those 3 errors led to zero runs, then I'd call them lucky.
Simple
as that.
Also, even considering the 3 errors led to the 5 unearned runs, it might
not
have mattered, if for example they lost 10-1, or won 12-5, something like
that. Thus the fact that they lost by 1 run was bad luck, since all 5
unearned runs mattered. Just 1 less unearned run and they could've won
the
game.
