			wouldnt you treat this situation just as you would if an umpire called a fair ball foul?  someone is going to be pissed while someone is getting a break.  you live with your mistake, take your a$$ chewing and hopefully you dont do it again.  like byron, I too used to say "Strike 3, batter out" until something like this very thing happened to me.  I overheard the coach tell his batter no matter what you run to first anyway on a dropped third strike and force the defense to make a play.  Thats when I knew I had to stop saying "batter out" on any third strike.  
 Now on a questionable strike three I will say this instead "Strike three, and thats a catch" or "Strike three, no catch, no catch".
