Just wondering what is the right way to handle this situation. Batter has a count of 2-2 and steps up in box for next pitch when umpire yells out that the count is 3-1. The batter then steps out of box to verify the count, stating that she thought it was 2-2, and the ump again states that the count is 3-1. The batter questions the count again, and the home plate ump yells to the field ump asking what count he has, but he does not respond, so he again affirmatively states that the count is 3-1. The next pitch is thrown, and the batter does not attempt to swing, and it is called a strike. The ump then indicates that it is a full count. At this point, the opposing team objects and says that that was three strikes and the batter should be out. At this point, the ump comes over to the home team scorekeepers (which happened to be our team) and asks what the count was before the last pitch. Being honest, they tell him that it was 2-2, so he calls the batter out. Was this the way this should have been handled? As a side note, this batter has only struck once this entire season and everyone knew that had she known that that was going to be a 3rd strike would have definitely made an attempt at hitting the ball.
