You know, this entire situation was caused by umpires!
The initial call was a ball as I understand it. Then the defensive team asked the PU to ask for help. It's a ball at this point, right? Base umpire reverses call and says "strike".
On the one hand, the plate umpire put the offense as a disadvantage because he had to ask for help (or did) whatever. Then the BU puts the offense at a disadvantage because the 3rd strike was a "delayed" call.
I say, batter's out ...... you don't get to run because of this "umpire caused delay".
Just my humble opinion...........in this situation, common sense says the blues blue it by allowing the dropped third strike.
