Official scoring on runner - drop 3rd
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			With a runner on second, 0 outs, the batter swings at strike three, which gets away from the catcher. The batter is safe at first, the runner safe at third. 
 
The scoring for the batter I believe is that he reached on an error, the pitcher gets a strikeout for his stats, but does the runner get credit for a stolen base? 
 
In a younger grade where stealing is not allowed yet, should a runner be allowed to advance on a dropped third strike, or would this officially be considered a steal? 
 
I just found this forum and plan to be a regular. How cool is this?
