NFHS  states on wild pitches-

9-6-1

ART. 1 . . . A wild pitch shall be charged in the summary to the pitcher when a ball legally delivered to the

batter is so high, or so low (including any pitch that touches the ground in front of home plate), or so far

away from home plate that the catcher does not stop or control it with ordinary effort so that the batter-‐

runner advances to first base or any runner advances a base. When the catcher enables a runner, other than

the batter-runner, to advance by failing to control a pitch that he should have been able to control, it is not a

wild pitch but a "passed ball."

That is no different than OBR rules.

I personally like the team error for high school. The situation regarding the play is that stats are usually tracked by the coach s a measurement for how kids are performing and not really used for some league bragging right. So in reality, a player shouldnt be seen as committing an error when they didnt commit one.

In reality one could argue that both runners were safe on a fielders choice and charge no error at all.
