Foul tip in the dirt mechanics and help?

Luckily, I've never had this happen to me or a partner, where a foul tip is judged caught when in fact it was not. What is the correct softball mechanic on a possible third-strike play like this one?

I think the PU should signal foul tip every time (I do) so that the base umpires know immediately that was the ruling. Should the BU volunteer some help without being asked?
