How to fix out charged to wrong player

Last night in our game with 2 outs and runner on third batter at plate with two strikes. Coach calls a hit and run, runner breaks from third and tagged out at home because batter swings and misses for strike 3. I scored the batter as a swinging strikeout to end the inning.

When we came back to the plate the player who was batting in the above scenario was back at the plate so one would have to assume the ump called the runner out and not the batter. Wont debate the call but iscore had the next batter at the plate not the one who was batting when third out was made. How do you correctly get back the the right batter? A lot happened in the bottom of the inning so undoing and reentering was near impossible. My only solution was to skip batters with no outs until i got back the batter I needed to score. Is there a better way or was this it. Only problem is shows batter batting two outs instead of the one he acutually made when completing his turn at bat and shows a lot of skipped batters in the scorebook.

Sounds like you probably did the best option (skipping until the player was up again). You can edit the stats to remove the strikeout and add a caught stealing on the runner by using manual override on stats. Here is a URL that describes the post game editing options:

Just offhand, I think you did the best you could do to quickly rectify the situation and get on with scoring the game. There is no way to fix this after the game short of undoing to that point and then rescoring going forward.

I've had something similar happen to me and now if there is any doubt, I will do everything possible to find out who the out was on so I can keep the book correct. The coaches of the offensive team should know anyway so they don't inadvertently send up the wrong batter the next inning and get into a batting-out-of-order situation.
