OK, but what is the rule when:

You have strike three, but the ball hits the ground, and the runner reaches base.

Per rule, IIRC, it's still ruled a strikeout (which is why you can technically have four outs in an inning and more than 27 Ks in a game). But, how do you signal this?

Obviously, he swung strike three, but if the ball hits the ground, the batter can take first base (if he reaches before being tagged or forced out at first).
