I don't know any official MLB scorers, so I will take your word for it.
I played though back in the stone ages and have been a volunteer coach for kids for the last 15 years, and every pitcher on the team and most all the other players would have called that play an ERROR. The play should have been made. Texas scored a run from it. It was not a PLUM (play left un made) because the player actually advanced. (a Plum is like a ball in foul territory that is dropped or a run down that you blow, but the runner doesn't advance)
When/Where I came from all plays were a Plum, Error, or Hit.........and although it was scored a base hit....WOW... infield pop-up where everyone waits for someone else to get it and the one who should runs himself out of the play may be a MLB base hit -- but not on the fields I play on.
Score it how they may..........
