There is an exception for 10U, but otherwise, the batter may attempt to reach 1st base on a dropped 3rd strike with 2 outs.
With fewer than 2 outs, 1st base must be unoccupied.
But with 2 outs, the batter is not out and may attempt to advance.

Wow!!!! Thirty years of umpiring nothing, but 10U softball! Now, that is a seasoned veteran. Don't know what he is seasoned with, but definitely seasoned.
