I also call rec-league slow-pitch and am required to report the scores to the league director (I only call for one league, and am employed by the park district who runs the league). In that sense, I do need to know what the final score is for reporting purposes. I don't, however, keep track of runs scored during play. At the end of the half-inning, I will ask for how many runs scored from their (the team who just completed batting) scorekeeper and announce it to the other team. If there are any discrepancies, I let the two teams work it out and only ask that they provide me with the 'official' count. Since our fields don't have scoreboards or league-provided scorekeepers, I will announce the score at the top of each inning. For the most part, this has worked out well for me, with little or no confusion as to what I will be reporting back to the director the next day.
