Next pitch called strike, partner rings her up with the third stike call. Everybody (offense and defense) assumes strike 3, defense leaves, offense starts to take the field. Me, I'm thinking - "that was strike 2...", stood in place for a few seconds trying to get my partner's attention. He never looked. I let it go and headed to get a between innings drink of water.

Comments?
The batter was denied a full at bat by a correctible mistake by the umpires.
You should have done what it takes to correct it, regardless of the score, since individual accomplishments are also affected.
