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?

Speaking ASA

Defense left the infield? Though this isn't "fair" because the offense was the offended team, the rule book is specific as to what point a correctable situation may be addressed and rectified.
