I played a game where the pitcher had a complete game with 3 unearned runs. I thought one of them should of been earned. All runs were scored in the 8th inning.

With runners on first and second, 0 outs the batter hits a ball to the 3rd baseman that gets through for an error scoring one runner (this was the only error of the game). Runners now on second and third.

Next batter flys out scoring the runner from third and moving the other runner to 3rd base.

Next batter grounds out scoring the runner from third. There is then a walk and fly out to end the inning.

Assuming that the scorer said the error would of been a double play and the next batter fly out would of ended the inning, isn't the first run still earned?
