I've played, coached, been a league official several times, and now umpire. I've kept score, like some others have mentioned, both for my own games and for my son's Babe Ruth team when he was playing. I know how some people are about their kid's stats.
As the scorer in one of my son's games, a batter for our team came to bat with 2 outs and the bases loaded. He popped a routine fly ball to RF that the fielder dropped. My scoring: E9 3 base error; his dad's scoring: game winning 3 RBI triple.
SRW had it right for your scoring purposes. Some other examples:
BB followed by 3 WPs equals an earned run.
W/ 2 outs, batter reaches on E3. Next batter home run. Two unearned runs.
W/ 2 outs, batter reaches on E3. Pitching change. Next batter home run. One unearned run for previous pitcher, one earned run for new pitcher, two unearned runs for purposes of team ERA.
Batter triples, passed ball, runner scores. Batter doubles. No RBI, earned run charged.
Batter triples w/ no outs. Next two batters strike out. Next batter reaches on a D3K. Because batter reached, there must be a passed ball charged to the catcher or a wild pitch charged to the pitcher. This is official scorer's judgement. If a WP, run is earned; if a PB, run is unearned. [This assumes next batter is retired.]
Batter triples w/ two outs. Illegal pitch called. Run scores. Earned run.
W/ two outs, batter reaches on catcher obstruction [this is also an error charged to the catcher]. Next batter home run. Two unearned runs.
W/ two outs, batter fouls to F3 who drops the ball for an error. Batter subsequently gets a base hit. Next 3 batters walk. Next batter doubles in 3 runs but is thrown out stretching for 3B. Four unearned runs.
W/ one out, batter triples. Next batter walks. Runner from 1B attempts to steal 2B and catcher throws ball into center field for an error. Runner from 3B scores, runner from first holds at second base. Next 2 batters strike out. One unearned run.
W/ one out, batter triples. Next batter walks. Runner from 1B attempts to steal 2B and catcher throws ball into center field for an error. Runner from 3B scores, runner from first holds at second base. Next batter strikes out. Next batter singles, w/ runner from 2B scoring. Next batter strikes out. Two earned runs.
W/ two outs, batter doubles. Next batter singles to LF who throws home to try to retire the R from second base. Throw hits the R in the back and she scores. BR goes to second base on the error. Next batter strikes out. One unearned run.
Hope that helps.
