This is a mistake most people make. It's more than likely a strike out and a wild pitch. Generally speaking, if the ball hits the ground before it gets to the catcher, the official scorer will score it a wild pitch.
If it bounces in a he drops it, it would be a wild pitch error E-1. If it's a drop third strike, then E-2 (catcher)
If the ball bounces before it crosses the plate and the catcher catches it, it is an out, and no additional put out is needed. But any catcher not tagging the runner would be stupid.
Did you see the opening of the game last night? I heard that the umpire in left field had guards. How was he received?
