Pitched ball hits dirt (or plate), whether swung at or not, on third strike, with first base empty or with two outs, the Batter can attempt to legally advance to first base.
Catcher may either tag or throw out BatterRunner at first. Running lane rules are still in effect. Any runners on second and/or third (and/or first, if two outs) advance at their own risk.
