jeopardy
Is this "jeopardy" in the umpires rule sense?
Runner on 1st, 2 outs. Batter takes an uncaught strike 3.
Plate umpire, not thinking 2 outs, says "batter out".
Catcher roll ball into infield while BR advances to 1st, other runner to 2nd.
Is this a jeopardy for the defense which the umpire should rectify, or
is this a case of the players (e.g., in this play the catcher) should know the rule?
Please state which rules book if you think they differ.
