I think they were making the point that this differs from 3 balls = BOB and 2 strikes =SO.

It is still 3 strikes (catch the ball) and yer out, like the song (almost) says.

To me, the difference seems to be editorial only (don't need to adjust all the batter and batter-runner rules), rather than "real" in how the game is played.

Tom is correct. And it only applies to adult SP excluding Masters, Seniors and for those who believe it is the same, 16" game.
