Though that is normally correct for a call, I think this is more a game administration point and agree with the others.

Remember it can be done quitely, calling time and coming together to discuss. (I do this so as to not embarass myself the many times when I am the one wrong. )

Last night we had similar that I did not handle perfectly: 2-1, the ball went behind the batter and a little fussing about "the ball hit her". After that settled down, the PU announced 2-2 count. I had 3-1. After a quick check of a very well, adult operated scoreboard, which also had 3-1, I yelled in at my partner, "I got 3-1." He reannounce the count as 3-1 and all was well. If I'd have thought first, I probably wouldn't have yelled it.
