Could be worse. First game of the season this year we had no outs and R1 with a drop third strike that went to the backstop. R1 advanced and the BR went to first. In the confusion, neither I nor my partner called the batter out. The pitcher walked to me (I was the BU) with a bit of fear in him and said "I'm not sure but I play travelling ball and shouldn't the batter be out?" I quickly reviewed the situation and realized that he should be out and corrected our error, but I couldn't believe neither of us picked it up.
