This is JV ball, don't demand too much from these players or coaches. Most JV coaches are pretty good if they know enough to put the right number of fielders on the field. And most JV players are doing pretty well if they hold the right end of the bat. I agree with Joel's handling - I think Sam's would be OK but much more appropriate for varsity ball.
Chances are really good that the batter did think it was the 3rd strike. If I am completely sure that the batter knew there were 2 strikes, I could see a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct AND I might even take an out for interference - in JV ball this'll depend a lot on how the game is going.
