No or One Hitter?

With one out in the bottom of the fourth, Dustin Pedroia hits a grounder down the third base line. A-Rod need to range to his right and dive to get the ball. He scrambled to his feet, but his throw is high, and Pedroia because of that Pedroia is safe. The official scorer gives Pedroia a hit, and Jerry Remy agrees. However, Wang is throwing a no-hitter, and after Ortiz hits into a double play, the play is changed to an error.

If the throw is true from Rodriguez, then Pedroia is out. It was by no means a routine play, however, and Alex made a great effort to come as close as he did to getting Dustin. My guess is that if there's a clean single in the game off Wang, the scorer will change it back.
