Question

Here is a strange ruling in OBR and I wonder how it would be recorded in the different softball org.

SIT: bases loaded 2 outs B6 swings and misses a pitch but during swing is obstructed by catcher and is awarded 1st R1 comes in to score. In the scorebook this goes down as E2 but the run counts as a earned run against the pitcher this actually happen this week in a MLB game it took a couple days for them to correct because the scorekeeper didnt know that the run should count against the pitcher ERA


I know this is not quite a umpire question but thought this ruling was very strange and totally different than anything I was told when keeping score so just wondered how this would go down in our books

Thanks

Don
