Dropped 3rd Strike

NewUmpire5,000+ posts

Here is one that happened over the weekend. Runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out. 12U 50/70 game. Swiinging dropped 3rd strike, ball scoots away from catcher, runners start to advance. Batter starts running toward 1st. Catcher throws to first (even though batter can not advance since 1st was occupied). Coaches of fielding team start to argue it should be immediate dead ball when batter starts to run. PU never verbalized the strike out (mistake). Did the batter do anything illegal by starting to run toward 1st? I don't think so.. the fielders (catcher) needs to know the situation. Thoughts?
