Crossword Genius

Kept record that's scratched (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scored

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scratched' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'kept record' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'record' could be 'score' (scoring is a kind of recording) and 'score' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'd' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scored that I've seen before include "Gained points in a game" , "Cut" , "Put ball in net - made deep groove" , "Hit - orchestrated" , "Put the ball in the net, or scratched" .)
