The next batter steps in and bats. The offensive coach questions the play after the inning and is told by the umpire that the batter gave himself up when he entered the dugout and a pitch was thrown to the next batter.

I would have given this batter the benfit of the doubt. Call time as he's walking away and inform him that there are only two strikes on him. After all, umpires are not always perfect with the count either.
