Hawkeye,
It sounds like you have a very sharp catcher. As often as not, when the BR runs on a dropped third strike with a runner on 1st, it will confuse the runner into thinking they have to run as well and a smart catcher can get an easy out if she knows what to do with the ball, which BTW, thwarts the very intent of the rule in the first place which was to prevent easy double plays... go figure. Oh well, dumb runner + smart catcher = easy DP. Buyer (coaches) beware.
