During a game last week I was working the plate, the best I can recall; strike two, one out, R1 on first base. The pitch come I calls strike three, the catcher dropped the ball, batter attempted to make it to first base but, was thrown out by the catcher. Question, did the batter have a right to advance.

Yes, Larry,
Like Mr Childress said, call the out cuz something weird could happen when that catcher makes a throw to 1st that goes to right field, or dead ball territory.

If you call the out, you did your job and you'll stay outa the deep grass.
