that's interesting. I was almost convinced it should indeed be an unearned run. looks like the game did too because with the first batter (who would have been out) and then the double play afterward (2 outs), it would be 3 outs so the inning would be over so any runs scored from then on would not be earned, but I was forgetting that the runner on first base that allowed for the double play is "unearned", so wouldn't have been there had the error not occurred. I would imagine this variation would be a big pain to add to the code.
