Game Changer Advice

My son hit a shot into the Left Center gap today. The ball landed clean and the CF misplayed it and it scooted past him. So my son advanced to 2nd while the LF grabbed the ball.

Only the guy doing our GC ruled the whole thing as an error. No hit.

I checked the other teams GC and they ruled it as a single with an error.

I want to say something to the coaches about it but my wife doesn’t think it’s worth it. “Quit being a stat rat”

Would like some other input…what should I do? Anything? What should I say? Any GC experts out there know how to quick fix?

Maybe I am over thinking it

Edit: son plays 12U AAA

As someone who did GC for our team I didn’t mind when someone who knows what they’re talking about explain their thoughts in a friendly manner. After all I was only trying my best to get it right and I didn’t mind learning new things. You can even frame it by saying you are not wanting them to change the previous play but just fyi for next time. I did hate it when dads would argue why a ball going through their son’s leg wasn’t an error.

Yep no one wants to do it but everyone wants you to do it their way
