Scoring in baseball/softball

[ QUOTE ]
i) When the third strike is a wild pitch, permitting the batter to reach first base, score a strikeout and a wild pitch

[/ QUOTE ] If it was in the strike zone, you would expect the catcher to catch it. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

i always thought it went down as an error on the pitcher if it was a wild pitch

the pitcher is not credited with an error in this case. only a wild pitch, or if the catcher goofs it's a passed ball.
