2-2 count on batter. Was a possible check swing on next pitch; catcher ask PL ump if he went and PL ump announced audibly that "he did not" and then said "ball 3" and showed 3-2 count.

Immediately following PL ump's call, Infield ump
in C position announced loudly "no, he went" showed the out sign and said "batters out".

This was a JUCO D1 game 2 man crew. I've never seen this happen.

Would like to know your thoughts.

I do not see in this post where anyone (catcher/coach) asked for a check with the base umpire, I do read the catcher asked the PL ump if he went, if they did ask I would certainly go to my partner and ask for help.
The UIC shall call and count balls and strikes.
The Field Umpire shall aid the umpire in chief in administering the rules. He shall make all decisions on the bases except those reserved for the UIC.
I do not believe that the BU should be over ruling the plate umpire without being asked for help by the PU. I'll admit I do not know JUCO rules.
