You're missing my point.
You feel the run should not have been put on the board because the "protest" was not done at the right time. Fine. Shouldn't have been done.
But the umpires did it anyway. So, in your opinion, they were wrong to do so.
However, now the shoe's on the other foot. The OTHER team did not "protest" the incorrect adding of the run to the score until after the game. So, for consistency's sake - you cannot allow THAT protest after the fact either - meaning the run must stand.
