IMO the "non caught strike 3" is a better description than a "dropped strike 3".

How about uncaught third strike. That's what I've always called it.

And I have had that play, except the bases were loaded. This was in 2003, in my very first tournament game for pay in Seattle. Two runs scored, and one defensive player threw the ball out of play while trying to get it quickly to the third baseman (or whoever was running toward third base) for the tag. Since the last two runners were between 2nd and 3rd at the time of the throw, they were both awarded home.
