Difficult Situation....

Without all the boring details, the table makes an error during a dual and sends the wrong wrestler out to compete at the 125 lb weight class. A was supposed to be bumped and wrestle at 130, but the table sent him out at 125, telling him it was 130. He loses by decision.

Wrestler A's coach realizes the error after the match ends. The results of the match are Team A loses by 2 points. Neither coach is keeping a book to help fix the error, however, Coach A has his lineup sheet, and the official shows that Wrestler A was on the book to wrestle at 130, plus the scorekeeper sent the kid out to wrestle 130.

Coach A demands that his wrestler be allowed to wrestle at 130 lbs, after a 45 minute break, as it was a table error that caused the kid to wrestle at the wrong weight class. Coach B insists that the kid cannot wrestle at 130 as he has already wrestled.

What is the right call?
