Keeping an official balls & strikes count is not listed as one of the scorekeepers duties listed in Rule 9. I'm sure there is a similar rule in OBR.
OBR Rule 10.01(b)(4):

The scorer shall not make any decision conflicting with the Official Playing Rules, or with an umpire's decision.

OBR Rule 9.04(a):

The umpire-in-chief shall stand behind the catcher. (He usually is called the plate umpire.) His duties shall be to: (2) Call and count balls and strikes.
