 CONT: At the end of the third inning, the announcer says that Billy  strikes out the side and now has five strikeouts. Billy strikes out  the second batter and third batter in the first inning, and strikes  out the first batter (fourth batter in the lineup) at the start of  the second inning. During the eighth inning, its revealed that the  sixth batter in the lineup struck out twice previously, which means  he struck out back in the second inning. If Billy struck out the  side in the third inning, he should have at least seven strikeouts  by the end of the third inning, not five.
