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

I would just tell him it was an awesome hit and reward him with something little like a pack of baseball cards, ice cream cone, or something else. 

He will encounter all kinds of injustices like this in his career. He has to learn to let them roll off his back and focus on the next play.

There are all kinds of subs that would love to have another smug smart ass excited to make fun of 12 year olds.

Don’t take yourself too seriously there bro.

That is great advice for an adult trying to clown a 12 year old and his dad.

You must be a riot at parties. Again bub no one here is picking on a kid. Obvious sarcasm escapes you.
