Pitching limits

So there is a glaring question. According to the article (which who knows if the information is 100% correct):

"For State College’s part, it said it confirmed pitch counts with McDowell at the end of the fifth inning. And both the Little Lions’ scorekeeper and the Little Lions’ dugout kept separate counts — that matched up — from the fifth frame on because the team wanted to make sure it didn’t go over the pitch count."

As it's reported, they confirmed the pitch count after the 5th inning, then kept separate counts, which matched each other, through the rest of the game. So how did one team have 97 pitches at one point and the other 101?

That means that when they confirmed the pitch count in the 5th inning the home team told them the wrong pitch count (if the reporting is accurate). Now it may be 100% accidental, but that seems to be a huge issue.

I also believe by rule the pitch count must be kept in such a way that is visible to both dugouts, but maybe I'm wrong.

How do you have a pitch counter who don't know the rule? When the pitcher reaches 100 pitches let someone know! If they don't know that, I'm sure they don't know when a legal pitch had been delivered or not.

And as the HC, you should be confirming the count every inning, heck, every batter late in the game!

Each team should use video and confirm pitches every half inning!

Just another way that PIAA will find away to screw things up. They always have loads of "representatives" watching the games looking important but you don't have a official scorer for playoff games???? Plus making the teams complete a game you're going to make a team forfeit is just pouring salt into a very big wound.
