The UIC has the official count. No one else matters. You may be able to convince him he's wrong but if you can't - tough.
If they truly decided it should have been strike 3 it was umpire error, not the player's error. Don't punish the players.
And how could two teams and two sets of fans not notice and make a commotion?
And even so, if you want to get B4 for BOO then it's too late, the first pitch to B5 legitimized it and B5 is now the proper batter. And he's up. Play on.
Denmark. Foul odor.

This is wrong about 10 times, but I just want to focus on one. There was no "first pitch to B5" There was a pitch to B4 that SHOULD HAVE been to B5 - it was B4 batting when B5 should have ... and when B4 hit it, she was, indeed, batting out of order.
