On any strikeout a pitcher gets a K no matter what.

On a "normal" K the catcher gets the putout.

On a uncaught 3rd the putout goes to whoever made the putout on whoever was out - possiblities:

1) F2 tags batter - F2 gets the putout on the batter-runner.
2) F2 throws to 1B - F3 (probably) gets the putout on the batter-runner.
3) Bases loaded, F2 steps on home plate while holding the ball - F2 gets a putout, R3 is the one out, B-R reaches on a FC.

On an interference call, the closest fielder gets the putout on whoever is out.
