@TheEXECUTlONER_ It's a dropped third strike & the at bat is over regardless of the outcome. If he comes back up to hit, the opposing coach will allow it, & then lodge a protest to the umpire for batting out of order if he gets on base successfully. The inning will start with 1 out regardless.
This play caused some scorekeeper confusion.
The batter is up with two outs and two strikes. Runner on third base.
The batter swings and misses, strike three but the ball gets by the catcher. Before the catcher can throw down to first base to try and get the batter out, he tags the runner out from third who is trying to steal home.
Inning over.
But, who leads off next inning for the team batting? The next batter in the lineup or does the current batter come back up because he was never recorded as an out or safe?
The same batter came back up to bat next inning and the umpire and coach from the opposing team didn’t say anything.
Did they get it right?
