Run scores ... or not... or yes it does 2 innings later

I think TPTB in various organizations should put in their rules how to handle this. I truly can see, and justify, both sides of the argument.

Our post season high school games are played at a hundred different sites spread out across the entire state. I think that it becomes a problem with logistics to have a protest handling process set up to handle that many games spread out over that large of a geographic area.

Maybe you could have this for the semifinals and finals, which are are played at one site (though there are five different divisions involved).

As was stated earlier in this thread... Little League manages an immediate protest chain country-wide and it works very efficiently. Geography is not an issue at all with that newfangled invention called a cell phone.

+1,000,000. It's called organizing your chain of command. It starts with the District Administrator and goes up from there.

So in conclusion,

We all agree the umpires kicked the call initially by not counting the run when it should have been counted.

We seem to have a disagreement about the change being made when it is was changed based on the timing of when the misapplication of the rule was questioned.

I have already stated my opinion on this matter, and my opinion has not changed on bit.
