dead ball strike
When a batter is struck by the pitch on a swinging strike, it is a dead ball strike.
It is uncaught by the catcher, but what about strike three. The dead ball means nothing can happen. So, when the batter would be allowed to attempt 1st base, the batter can not attempt 1st, and the catcher can not tag the batter out. What am I missing? Is this a conundrum that has a solution? I only checked three rule books and one case book, no clear answer found.
