That's why the game doesn't need to be 100% right. Of course, ideally it should be 100% right. There are also people who demand that the game is 100% right before anything else is done.

For all intents and purposes for the rest of that inning, that error is now completely meaningless. But I've seen examples where that batter went ahead and made an out (thus "erasing" that error) and then later in the inning the team scores and the run(s) be incorrectly marked as unearned. Perhaps those types of things could be fixed without a total rewrite.
Hopefully the example you give is fixable. Some of the other examples in this thread may require a re-write though.
