Now where this is a walk-off, I should have lost 11-10, but it turned out to be a 3-run double where I lost 13-10. Not that it's a big deal, but I think this should be addressed in order to have more accurate statistics. When a walk-off occurs the game is over after one run. The whole play is not played through, per say.

Then it could have major implications, but considering the rarity of those games and how large the differential usually is when it is used, I doubt it has ever changed who promoted or relegated.
