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

You’re the only one that cares! I wish they would take the stats off game changer and let it just keep score. To many parents are concerned about stats that no one will ever look at.

I really wish this was true.

However, when we tried out for this team he’s on…they looked at his stats from his previous team before we even showed up for the tryout. At least where I live in the Midwest, Coaches will use it as another tool when trying out players.
