Changing play after game

I incorrectly scored a play and would like to go back and change it. I scored as player grounding out, when it should have been scored player hit into fielders choice and there was a double play. It won't let me go back and make this change. Can this be done?

I am having a similar problem. I didn't score an out (kid slid into second head first.)
It was only the second out, but how can I fix it after the fact?

@ksduckfan - go to Game Manager, select the game, select Pitch by Pitch, scroll down to the play in question, tap the pitch, tap Edit next to the line that says the player grounded out, and select Fielder's Choice instead
@btgoss - not clear what you are asking. If you scored a player as Safe when he should have been Out, you can not change a play from Safe to Out in pitch by pitch editing. You can use Undo when it happens to fix it. How did you complete the inning if you did not score the out?

I have no idea on how it can be done if at all, but from the many questions about changing "mistakes" after-the-fact (including my own posts) I have to wonder if there's some way to do it.. For young kid (9U in my case) games, sometimes they just go so fast that I don't have time to Undo and re-enter.. On more than a few occasions I've hit Undo, started scoring what I remember and the next kid has already hit the 1st pitch and multiple runners have scored w/errors, etc, and then I'm 2 batters behind. Doing both a scorebook and the app seems overkill (for one person for sure) and defeats the purpose, so "rescoring the whole game" is usually not a viable option. One time I had the pitch-by-pitch up on the device (because its much more detailed than what is shown online), and entered a new game on ANOTHER device and mimicked it and corrected the area where I made a mistake.. provided I could remember it..
Maybe if certain conditions are met (ie, changing out to safe or something) in the pitch-by-pitch (not currently possible), then the program could "move you forward" from that point on, letting you edit/change each play.. in effect re-scoring from that point forward, but in a more automated/helpful way.
Again, not enough experience yet to have real ideas, I just know the types of issues I've run into so far trying to score some fast paced games while also being new to the program and not always sure what to pick in some cases..

We intend to keep improving the post game editing capabilities of iScore. Thank you for the suggestion.

@FTMSupport - It was a strange situation. The kid slid into first and was called out. I didn't see that. Then my son struck out.(2 outs, but I only scored the one.) Then the next play the batter hit into a slow line drive, the runner on first was sent, the runner going to first was tagged at first and then they got the runner between second. So I got out of that inning.
I later went on to compound the error I made by removing the kid who slid head first from the lineup. Further confusing my stats. I know I can fix it in the stats.
I do wish the Excel export would include the formulas. That would really help with clean up like this.
