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

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.

OK, I see your point now. But, I'm not arguing for or against who won the game. I'm arguing against what the umpires did in the middle of the 7th inning, and the following ruling (IIRC) by the state that the umpires' ruling was correct.

The state did not back the final score on the basis of the team offended by the 7th inning ruling did not file a protest. That backed it on the basis that adding the run to correct a misapplication of a rule in the 5th inning (or whenever... I don't remember the exact inning) 2 innings later was correct. I am arguing, no, it was not correct. It was a protest situation, and the state does not allow protests, therefore there was no remedy allowed. And, even if the state did allow protests, the protest was filed too late. Double jeopardy.
