Batter (supposedly, I didn't see it). Batter stayed in the box and wasn't awarded a hit by pitch. A few innings later my batter was hit by a pitch that bounced. My batter wasn't awarded first, I protested the rule, and my batter was awarded first.

The opposing coach said "since we didn't play this rule earlier in the game let's just not call it a hit by pitch for the rest of the game".

I said "no, you should have protested it when it happened to your player".
