There is no such thing as an unforced error in Baseball. The term became popular with tennis announcers for a point scored on a mistake by one player that was not the result of a shot by his opponent. The term has been picked up by some Golf announcers, which makes no sense in that nothing an opponent does can cause a golfer to make a poor shot. Never heard the term applied to Baseball, but suppose it could be used in reference to things like wild pitches, passed balls, throwing errors, etc.
