This is more to clarify for those non-umpires viewing this thread.
Appears that the catcher in my game last nigh (adult, wood-bat) knew this rule but forgot what happens when there's an uncaught third strike with 2 out and a runner on first. In other words the catcher just picked up the ball and watched as the batter and runner each advanced a base.
