Play continued after third out

[Guest Dave K]

Visiting team and umpire lost track of outs. Our batter struck out for the third out. Our next hitter approached batters box and everyone let play continue. Three pitches were thrown, the second was a wild pitch and a run scored. Then everyone huddled and realized the error and disallowed the run. Was that correct?

Correct by rule; correct by the CS&FP handbook.

Yes.

Would the extra pitches that were thrown go against the pitchers pitch count?

Interesting question. Here in NJ, under our FED pitching rules, I'd say no, since the pitches "didn't count". There's no written rule or case play for this, but for our state I'd base it on the fact that if a pitch is thrown and a balk is called, the pitch is not added to F1's pitch count.
