We had a high school baseball game and we were the visting team. Our scorebook showed at the end of the game we won 14-13. The home team said no they show 13-13. Who is correct? There was a parent in the stands keeping score also and they showed the score 14-13 visiting team.
In the bottom of the fifth inning we had bases loaded (score 11-10 them) their pitcher walked in a run making the score 11-11. Now bases are still loaded. Our batter hits a line drive up the middle and it gets past the centerfielder. We clear the bases and the batter made it to third. We show 4 runs scoring that inning. The home team only shows 3. The walk in, the runner from 3rd and the runner from first. Not the runner that was on second.
The home plate umpire had no clue of what the score of the game was. He came over to our side of the field after an inning and asked one of our parents what the score was. Shouldn't they ask both teams in between innings so this doesn't happen or do they not do this in high school?
What is the correct ruling on scorekeeping and is this a game that can be appealed?
I believe all school if applicable should use the scoreboards.
