Earned or Unearned
The final run of the game last night scored after a wild pitch and error put a runner on third with none out. The Rays then intentional walked two batters to load the bases, with the run scoring on an infield hit. Should this run be earned or unearned? In my opinion, the run doesn't score without the error. Yet, the scorers call it earned. I guess they're not allowed to distinguish between types of walks.
