The only time that an official scorer can communicate with the umpires on the field (and thus affect the outcome of a game) is when teams change sides before three outs are made.In the event that a batter bats out of turn, the scorer has a set of rules he(she) must follow to record the incident, but under no circumstances is the scorer allowed to notify the umpiring crew of the mistake. If the mistake is not caught by the umpires when the game ends, then it would be up to the league office to make a decision on the game's outcome. In this case, the official scorer's game notes would be considered, but the scorer himself(herself) would not actually affect the game's outcome - that decision is left to the league president.
I dont have a helmet for softball and i have a game today! what do i do!!?
Whether or not the ball hit was an error or a hit. this could decide whether or not the pitcher gets a no hitterJohn Smoltz has 200 wins on the Braves!!!?
The teams leave the field thinking the game is over when, in actuality, there are only 2 outs in the inning and he alerts the umpires and the game continues with the home team rallying for the win.or
The player hitting a walk-off hit has batted out of turn and is then considered out.

I'm not sure about this one. I don't know how a scorer's decision could affect the outcome of a game, (where a winning team becomes the losing team), but he can affect the final score.In Game Five of the National League Championship Series between the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets in 1999.
Robin Ventura hit a grand slam in the bottom f the 15th inning to "win" the game 7-3. However, he never completed rounding the bases inthe excitement of the win and was "officially" credited with a single and the "final score" was adjusted to 4-3, (which must haved angered many bettors who had the over that day which I believe was 7.5).
Who would you rather have on your team Jose Reyes (NYM) or Derek Jeter (NYY)?
The only "outcome" that can be influenced by an official scorer is who gets the win if the starting pitcher for the winning team left the game with the lead but not having pitched 5 full innings, and his team never allowed the opposition to tie the game. In that case, it's up to the official scorer to decide which relief pitcher was most effective, and to award the win to that pitcher.To one of the people who had already answered this question, Robin Ventura being credited with only a single had nothing to do with the official scorer and everything to do with the rule book. A single was all that had been needed, and if you're going to blame anyone for turning that slam into a single, it's Todd Pratt, the man who stopped running.
