Completely OT, but something occurred to me recently, and I haven't seen it happen yet this season so I don't know the rule:

- Bases empty

- There are two strikes

- The catcher fails to catch the ball, but umpire calls it a ball.

- Catcher challenges, and it is overturned to be a strike.

Can the batter attempt to run to first base? Without the challenge he can, but how does the challenge affect things? Can he start running to first if he anticipates a challenge (or just thought it was a strike on his own and didn't wait for the umpire to call it)?
