Error in Team Left on Base Totals

In looking over a box score from a game in our online league, we noticed an error in the Team LOB calculations. I have attached the box score and game log. The box score lists the team left on base totals as 11 for Kingston and 4 for Milwaukee. The game log correctly records the following LOB totals:

Code:

     1 2 3  4 5 6  7 8 9   
KIN  1 2 1  2 1 2  1 2 3 = 15
MIL  2 0 0  0 0 0  0 0 3 =  5

For Kingston, the box score lists 11 men LOB instead of 15. For Milwaukee, the box score lists 4 men LOB instead of 5.

The error may also be verified via a quicker method. Plate Appearances = Runs Scored + Put Outs + Left on Base. Kingston batted around 5 times and their final batter was the #2 hitter: 5 x 9 + 2 = 47 PA, and 47 PA = 5 R + 27 PO + 15 LOB. Milwaukee batted around 3 times and their final batter was the #7 hitter: 3 x 9 + 7 = 34 PA, and 34 PA = 2 R + 27 PO + 5 LOB.

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I've looked this over a few times now, and I don't see where. Thank you.
