How is this a blown save?

The stat recording of this kind of thing has always been pretty suspect, imho, but this one is beyond me. Is there someone out there that's smarter than me (short answer: yes) that can tell me if there's any possible way that Tom Hall blew the save when not a single run was scored during or after his time in the game?

If.....Rusie started the 6th with a lead and gave up a runner (hit or walk) then Hall came in and let that runner score to tie the game, then he gets a blown save, even though the earned run would count against Rusie.
best possibility, just looking at your box score.

Agree with Paul.
Would have to see the boxscore, but I'm guessing Rusie starts the 6th, puts a couple men on, Hall comes in and walks 3 and gives up a hit and gets three outs. Probably Hall leaves with the lead after putting guys on in the 7th, guys that Percival strands.
Look at the play by play for his half of the 6th and 7th, and your AB between.

I'm gonna chalk this up to being a victim of night time sleep aids and bad body chemistry. I've been fighting food poisoning for the last few days and this is apparently the end result.
Your theory is dead on. For some reason my drug-addled brain was thinking that it would show as an unearned run on Hall's line score if that was the case. Clearly, it's not.
Thanks for the help. Please pass the Pepto.
