A few years back at the High School State Tournament the catcher threw behind a base runner on first base and was called out - the kicker - it was ball 4 on the batter. Umps lost track of what they were doing and called the runner out and the 'way outside' pitch was called a strike after conformation with the field ump who wasn't paying attention either. Best not to leave it up to the umpires.........
