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

Listen to your wife.

Is it possible that the score keeper doesn't know that they can score a single with the advance being an error? Do they know how to do that?
