Okay, we are talking about something that has an origin which predates baseball or softball, but I'll start.

2 outs. 2 strikes on batter. No scoreboard, players not paying attention to umpire.

Uncaught third, batter doesn't run. Ball is thrown back to pitcher who gets on the rubber because she thinks there is another pitch. Coach, who is aware of the count, yells at pitcher to throw to first, which she does without disengaging rubber.
Well, for starts, why isn't the PU standing away from the plate with the mask removed awaiting a play? That isn't a batter standing there, it is a BR and a play imminent and the umpire's actions should be eminent.

This being the case, I'm with the blue from Nassau County (presumedly), there is no pitch to be had until the previous play is complete.
