I've seen some errors in scoring. In an extra inning game tied with the home team at bat. Bases loaded and batter hits a game ending triple or double. should be credited with only a single as only one run was needed to end the game. In the box score the batter was incorrectly given the extra base hit.
In another game, first and second. Called for a double steal. Catcher throws the ball away at third base for an error. Runner scores from second and runner from first ends up at third. Only the first runner was given credit for a stolen base, not the second runner. When you double steal without the catcher throwing the ball away, both runners ARE given a stolen base. It's only when the catcher throws the ball away that the second runner doesn't get credit for a stolen base.
I know these are minor scoring problems but the first one should be corrected.
