During my coed league's tournament last night there were a few issues. The first beingthat the score keeper was scoring the game backwards. This error was caught by both teams as well as our umpire. This caused several issues and the game clock to be stopped with 2 minutes left in the bottom of the 6th. There were 2 outs 1 runner on 1st and 1 run scored. The score at the time of the stoppage was 10-8 with my team, visitors, leading. When the clock was stopped and everything was corrected the current league director and the umpire restarted the bottom of the 6th inning. My questions are:
1. Was this the right call?
2. Shouldn't the inning have continued from the point of stoppage?
3. If the inning were restarted shouldn't it have been restarted for both teams?
4. Is there a rule somewhere that can aid me in my protest?
To all of you I'm not protesting the scoring as that was corrected by myself, the other team's manager and the umpire. The lead umpire and our league director explained their side. The lead umpire even agreed that what I'm protesting is a valid protest due to the fact that in his 40yrs as an umpire he's never heard of this being called. Our league director on the other hand stated that he did not believe that it was valid and when I asked him what rule he would site against the protest he said he didn't know the rule on it but that he has to stand behind the umpire on his decision. Any help or guidance would be deeply appreciated.
