I agree w/ LDUB..You HAVE to correct this call. But, we need to make sure that there are two outs, as was mentioned earlier--if not the PU was correct anyways.
So w/ bases loaded and 2 outs, PU calls "strike three, batter out," on a dropped 3rd strike, the batter-runner is still running down to 1st. F2 overthrows and live ball continued. Although, strike three is called (to end the inning,) that doesn't necessarily mean the play is dead. So, then after the play is over (the 2 runs scored,) you can explain THAT to the coaches. The kids still played on, you never called DEAD BALL, so, that is your correcting of your error (the kids save you).

As DG said earlier, you can correct it--or should correct it. Of course, hope we stay alert enough to not let this happen (but it DOES happen sometimes.) Now in the case of killing a foul ball being called, when it was fair or a fair ball being called (vocally) and a runner stops thinking the PU said "foul," but F4 tags him (etc). I just believe that you should get in right. Right? You will have to call this runner Out, even though he stopped, thinking PU called 'foul.' But if a PU calls it 'foul,' when it really isn't? ya, you have to eat that one. But not in the original case posted first. You don't have to eat the dropped third strike called incorrect because the play wasn't REALLY dead, know what I mean?
