Ok....the umpires screwed the pooch by not allowing the run when they should have.
The LaFollette coaches should have protested at that point, got the rulebook out, called the UIC, whatever, and get it fixed right then and there. Don't dig through the rulebook for an inning and a half to make sure you are right. At that point, in my opinion, it's too late.
I don't see this as a scoring error....for me, that's a run that scored that wasn't added to the teams total. This was a ruling that a run did not score and a misinterpretation of a rule...a protestable situation. Since the protest was not officially filed prior to the next pitch....the right to protest is gone.
