I go and talk to the score keepers.. who is positive that two runs scored... (maybe i missed one I'm thinkin?? I some times lose track..) .. well in short order there is a fire storm of heckling of the score keeper from BOTH benches that only 1 run scored (neither team is keeping a book but both are agreeing on the score) . So I calm down the heckling with some talking and a general warning, the score keeper lady is all upset. I go an talk to my BU who is positive only 1 run scored. We decide we have to over rule the score keeper and make the score right.
Not an umpire problem. Official scorekeeper makes a mistake, that is between the scorekeeper and the teams. She had a supervisor, team not happy with scorekeeper's response can go to him/her. Teams not smart enough to keep a book deserve whatever they get.
