Here is the result:
Umpire rules after-the-fact that it was, indeed, a strike three on B2 and B2 is out.
"Yes, coach (to the offense), I called it a strike. You can't argue balls and strikes."
The count is 0-1 on B3. Call B3 back to the box to continue her at bat.
Simple.
You guys are obviously too experienced to see the real-world solution to this!

You are obviously spending too much time on eteamz. Besides, the pitch to B3 was a ball. That is unless you intend to call every pitch a strike
