Answer
I've got a runner on first with two outs. Next batter. Pitcher gets credited with strike out and a wild pitch!
I know this is a problem somewhere and a coach will be ticked no matter what the call.
My first thought was the way I called it but then thought about the opportunity lost by the defense and became unsure. I called he ASA district UIC and he agreed.
