I would concur with Midlo Dad.

In another thread, I just complained about W/L being the thing most frequently screwed up by scorers. I was actually wrong on calling it 'most frequent'. Although more frequent but less annoying is how most HS scorekeepers handle ER/UER.

You've asked an excellent question. This one is tough and involves making a jugement call. Many other's require only a few seconds where 3 or 4 neurons have to connect to get it right.

My son on Friday night gave up three walks and a single in the same inning. No errors or PB or anything else. He walked the run in, yet the official scorer said it was unearned.

I love my son (and my daughter) more than life itself, but there is no way on God's green earth that I could enter that run in my son's spread sheet as anything but earned.
