Yep.
Half thinking "Did I forget to record an out on my clicker?" and half thinking "Am I supposed to tell them there's only 2 outs?"

Luckily for T, the next batter struck out, so no real harm done.

RE: training newer umpires, I agree it's a problem. Luckily, I was able to attend a clinic prior to my first umpiring gig, so I got a little bit of a chance to learn some mechanics. I'm also shadowing some more experienced umps, and observing varsity games when I can. I've also picked up some summer ball that's 2-umpire, so hopefully I'll get paired with some experienced folks there.

But it was definitely a very nervous experience for my first couple of solo games.
