Ability to delete an assigned error after the game is over.

Here's the situation...batter hits a popup foul that the 3rd baseman has an excellent opportunity to field, but he botches it. There is a lot of debate on how to score this play. Some say that it should only be an error if there are 2 strikes with runners on and the dropped foul ball allows the batter to get a base hit. Others (myself included) say that if it was a makeable play, that it should be considered an error regardless of the situation. I assigned an error on this play during the game, then found out later that the official scorer did not. I tried going into Pitch by Pitch to edit the error, but it wouldn't allow me to delete it...only assign it to a different player. Is there another way to handle this? If not, a delete option should be added, especially since it doesn't directly affect any plays that follow.
