It's really not a "decision" or "call" that's covered by 10-3-C, in my humble opinion. This is something that the runner should have checked on with her base coach.

Suppose a batter asks the PU, "What's the count?" and the PU responds with, "2 and 1," but it's really 1-2. Then the batter swings and misses at the next pitch in the dirt that gets by the catcher, and she doesn't run to first. The catcher runs back, retrieves the ball, and throws to first to retire the batter. Are you going to let her stay up to the plate and disregard the third strike?

I dunno; maybe I'm wrong, and missed counts and missed number of outs are covered by 10-3-C. But in this play, the third base coach should have been the one informing R1, "There's only one out! Tag up on a fly ball, etc. etc."
