This happened to me last week, both my partner and I have NO idea how.
We both had two outs, so did the scoreboard. A strikeout "ended" the inning and the team left the field with a runner left stranded on 3rd. Everything was fine until it was discovered that strikeout was actually out #2, so we brought them back out to finish the inning. Now of course the at-bat coach claimed R3 scored during the mix-up, but I told him no one is going to benefit when we've made a correctible mistake. Of course, at the conclusion of the inning (as BU), I'm jogging off into short right field and wasn't paying attention to whether or not R3 actually touched home (no one was claiming there were only 2 outs, so I doubt he did).
Now the other side of the coin is if my partner and I both KNOW there are only two outs, but the defensive team thinks there are three, rolls the ball to the mound and starts off the field. That ball is live and runners may advance.
Still don't know how we all had the outs wrong. Oh well.
