Question
Guest Kyle
Runner at first with two outs. A dropped third strike occurs and the umpire mistakenly calls the batter out immediately, forgetting that first base occupied does not apply with two outs. The batter ran to first anyways while the defense did not play the ball due to the umpire calling out. After realizing his mistake, what is the umpire supposed to do? Does the out call stand for confusing the defense, or does the batter stay at first base as per the rules?
