Missed a Run
Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:22 am
Last night during a double header I got distracted and fell behind in the first half of an inning. I went over and checked with the other scorekeeper to make sure everything was kosher. He said 3 runs scored. I did not think that was right so I asked him - who was left on first and third? He said yes. I made sure I had the correct batter coming up the next inning and thought I was all set.
We went on to bat around, and score 7 runs. The score keeper then comes over to verify the score after our half of the inning. This time he had 4 runs in there half (which I though was correct initially) - I confirmed with the coach that the runner I had left on third did indeed score.
I tried to go back and correct in the pitch by pitch, but I could not figure out a way to get the box score corrected. We had way too many hitters to try and undo each of them and rescore it. So I manually updated the individual stats, and fixed the score in the email before I forwarded it to the the coaches.
Did I miss something or is the only way to correct an error like this to undo then redo everything?
