So DD's team played last night. I do GC for the team but it was an away game so not really official book. Somehow during the game, the person doing scoreboard screwed up and advanced us an inning. I didn't really notice because I only look at the scoreboard to make sure the runs and stuff are correct and they were.
I had glanced up once and saw that we were in the top of the 7th according to the scoreboard - but I didn't notice the difference in GC.
When they called the game I was finishing up scoring the last play and it did not give me a msg that we had reached the end of regulation like it normally does - so thought that was odd. And then noticed we were actually in the bottom of the 6th. So I'm like - uhh - we still have an inning to play. But umps are packing up - the teams are having their meetings. I tried to find the other team's scorer but couldn't find them. Finally talked to our coaches after their meeting and was like - yea we have another inning to play. But I guess by then - the umps had left and the other team was cleaning the field.
So I went to check the other team's GC. In the 6th inning they recorded the first two outs and then manually changed the inning to the 7th - scored the 3rd out so it showed up in the 7th inning - so game over for them.
Also we were losing so of course the other team was okay with ending early. I was just so shocked a team would actually do this - we weren't winning but could have come back. I just question the integrity of a team that would do this. Luckily it was not region play.
At home games - I sit in the scoreboard area and someone else does the board while I do GC. She's very careful to not screw up the innings and she always makes sure what inning we're in.
