Who is the scorekeeper? Is there really an official one? It is almost always a player who is just sitting on a bucket.
I am sure that this reserve is going to be impartial. No way would he tell his coach that the other team batted out of order.
Unless you are calling a game where there is a guy sitting up in the press box scoring the game, then you really don't have an "official scorer". All you have is 2 guys who don't play, keeping score for their teams.
