Again, the call did not cost you the game. There was more baseball played after the call, with plenty of opportunities to score more runs. The winning run did not score on that balk. Only the
go ahead run scored on the balk. It didn't end the game. If it ended the game, then it may have cost you the game.
Now you await the decision on the protest. It will likely be upheld, as it appears the umpire blew the call. Did it have an effect on the game? Most certainly. Did it
cost you the game? Absolutely not.
Your team failed to score any more runs. That's not the umpire's fault. He is not to blame because your team moped around about the umpire screwing them, and let it affect them to the point where they couldn't take matters into their own hands.
