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?

Most umpires don't care about the scoring aspects. Try baseballscorecard.com

In "younger grade" games, check the local rules. The fact that it's a D3K shouldn't matter -- would the runner normally be allowed to advance on an uncaught pitch?

Welcome.
