[from answers to correspondents] Three strikes are called on a man, and he starts for first base; the catcher muffs the ball on the third strike, but recovers it in time to throw the man out at first base. Is the striker out on three strikes, or by the first-baseman assisted by the catcher? ….. We mark it as struck out, but add that the baseman put him out, assisted by the catcher.
