This exact thing forced me to eject my SCOREKEEPER once. I put the girl back kin the dugout. No one's light bulb went off, and no one appealed. After we took a pitch, I made sure the scorekeeper had scored the run and he went ballistic. Even better, scorekeeper was a board member. They love me.

The umpires in Texas get their own scorekeeper?

Damn, I gotta work some games there.

I'm hoping he meant a team member in the dugout/bench keeping score.

Nope, this was the home team's scorekeeper - but once the game starts he/she is MY scorekeeper.
