When a batter reaches 2 strikes, and if first base is open or there are 2 outs, a dropped 3rd strike option is added to the bottom of the pitch menu within the scorekeeping mode of GameChanger.
To score a dropped third strike follow these steps:
1) Tap Dropped 3rd Strike
2) Select Swinging or Looking
3) Select Safe on First (WP), Safe on First (PB), or Batter Out at First*
Note that the option is only available in situations where it is possible (e.g. Two strike count).

*According to baseball rules, there cannot be both a dropped third strike and throwing/fielding error if the runner only advances to first base. The runner advanced to first because of the dropped third strike. You are not able to also apply an error to that play. If the runner advances to second because of an error, you will be able to record that in the app.

When there is a runner on 3rd and there is a dropped 3rd strike, the app tries to force the runner home, and you cannot select back as an option on a did not advance. You are only given Out or Safe as an option.
@Mcanfiel if you haven't figured it out by now. Just move them back and select did not advance.
Question. How do you score a dropped third strike error on the first baseman or Catcher if all they got was first base? Drop ball in the dirt that the catcher didn't catch isn't an error unless she doesn't make the throw, or the first baseman drops it.
