There's a difference between reporting official statistics at the end of a game, which is what OBR 10.02 requires, and maintaining track of those "unofficial" stats during the course of the game. Somebody in the press box is responsible for keeping real-time balls and strikes count; if that wasn't the case, then there'd be no reason for Gerry Davis to make the phone call.
