We hardly ever (and when I say "hardly ever" I mean "never") have scorekeepers who are not affiliated with a team. (I'm speaking girls fastpitch here). So if a team is playing shorthanded where the out is charged (most leagues overlook the out by local rule), I do what you suggest here - I ask the opposing scorekeeper to keep me informed when the "out" is "up to bat." I also tell the opposing coach that I have asked his scorekeeper to do this.
So far, it has worked every time.
