The situation is that the first batter hits a fly to right field for a single, right field lets the ball get through him to the fence and the batter reaches third on the error.
Nest two batters strike out with the original batter remaining at third.
Next batter singles with an infield ground ball scoring the runner on third.
Next batter strikes out.
The run scored is shown as earned and the fourth batter is credited with an RBI.
In reconstructing the inning the first batter would not have scored the run before three were out but for the error by the right fielder.
One attempt I have made to correct it resulted in the run being unearned but no RBI for batter four.

I will look at the link you have provided and see if it answers this situation.

Many thanks for the suggestion.
I get same result.

FTM - how would you score this to get correct outcome?

That is definitely the type of situation where iScore can not make the determination of earned vs unearned. iScore is assuming that a runner scoring a subsequent base hit would have scored anyway. There is no way for iScore to determine that a runner scoring on a hit would not have scored if not for advancing on error as runners can score from 1st, 2nd, or 3rd on a base hit... it just depends on the hit.

In the case of scorekeeper judgment like this, you would have to override the stats to mark the run as Unearned. The scorecard would show the run as earned, but you can add a note to the play saying it is unearned, and that note will be included on the scorecard PDF if you are using an iOS device.

But, I would expect iScore to assume the runner from first would not score on a single. I think it gets that part wrong. If runner was at second or third, it would be different story (especially third).

The logic should follow the same logic used to advance batters. The system assumes runner advancement equal to batter advancement.

Would also be nice if you could edit a run to earned or unearned, rather than just override stats and be stuck with inaccurate scorecard.

+1. (Like the half filled diamond for unearned runs on scorecard. )
