The rule application isn't protestable after a next pitch, so that isn't a factor. The issue is if this is a scorekeeping error or a ruling that can't be changed. Okay, they asked the umpire, but the official scorekeeper could STILL have a different score in the book and on the board, because it really isn't the umpire's call, unless the umpire states the out was made before the run scored.
I am aware of game scores that HAVE been changed after the fact, when it was determined a scorekeeping error was the sole factor.
