How to unlock the They Call Me Bonehead Fred achievement in Sandlot Sluggers - Definitive Guide

This achievement can be done with two controllers. I just set up a pickup game with one controller on each team and then pitched and struck out each batter until the bottom of the final inning ( I had it set for 5 innings ). I then threw fastballs down the middle while hitting ground balls to make sure that I did not hit a home run to win the game. Once I had the bases loaded, I struck out the next two hitters in order to have the two outs and pressed down on the d-pad for the winning team to steal home. You must have two men remaining on base with the two outs in order to unlock the achievement. The profile unlocking the achievement needs to be the home team during the set up as well.

I confirmed this can also be done in a 3-inning game, just as described above. From the main menu, go to extras, then options, then LT to get to the second page of options, where you can select 3, 5, 7, or 9 innings.

I never even considered stealing home as an option for this achievement. Nice one!

I got this achievement and Like Joe at the same time, saves time and frustration. Just follow both guides with 2 controllers and be careful at the end of the game. Get 6 runs before the 5th inning for the opposite team and strike out your 1st/2nd batter in the bottom of the 5th. Then bunt for 6 runs and load the bases. After they are loaded just steal home like mentioned above leaving 2 on base and winning the game getting you both achievements in one go. Good luck!
