Just because the umpire calls the third strike and an out does not mean the batter cannot advance to first on an error by the catcher. If the umpire calls the batter out, the batter is out.

If the umpire calls the batter out, the batter is out.The ump says he did not call the batter out.

I've seen many plays where the ump calls batter or runner out initially and then changes the call after either the fielder drops the ball or there is an appeal.

"If the umpire calls the batter out, the batter is out."
Did he "call" him out? Everyone, catcher hitter and umpire, agree he never did.
