Earned run or not? | High School Baseball Web

Situation:

batter 1, infield single

batter 2, sac bunt, runner now on second

batter 3, pass ball (not wild pitch, catcher has curve ball hit mitt and bounces off) runner advances to third, batter grounds out 4-3 runner scores.

batter 4, grounds out 4-3

I initally score as ER, but as I think about it, is the PB an error and if you reconstruct the inning without it, the runner never scores!?

Run is Earned. Passed Balls and Wild Pitches are not counted as errors, because pitchers and catchers pitch/catch 100+ times per game.

EARNED RUNS
10.18
An earned run is a run for which the pitcher is held accountable. In determining earned runs, the inning should be reconstructed without the errors (which include catcher's interference) and passed balls, and the benefit of the doubt should always be given to the pitcher in determining which bases would have been reached by errorless play.
