It appears that when the scorekeeper assigns earned runs, any hit + error result is simply treated as an error. Example: one out, runners on 2nd and 3rd, single to center + one base error. Next player also gets a hit. Both runs should be earned. Instead, the scorer immediately assigns both runs as unearned. The second run scored on the error, but it would have eventually scored anyway, so the run is earned. There should never be a question about the first run.
