I found the match results on the FIRST web site, and it too shows a nonzero score for SF2. However, it shows the three teams on Alliance 8 as *disqualified*, verifying that as the red card match. So apparently the official score stands, while the teams involved don't get to count it.
This is an instance of TBA reporting bad data.
SF-2 was officially scored as a 0 for the match. The 106 points scored were completely erased at the event, as per the 2015 rules.
However, since the 0 was a result of the red card, it does not qualify for this thread. It has indeed been christened the "Phyxt-Red-Card" incident in honor of the alliance teams.
Personally, this was the source of both my heart breaking when it happened, then swelling at the teams' response.

The affected teams petitioned FRC HQ to review the incident, and HQ graciously allowed the three alliance members ten district points. These points allowed 1741 to qualify for the World Championship event, where they were quarterfinalists on Newton.
