The ball still hit her in the lower posterior left thigh. She trotted toward first base and PU brought her back and called a ball. He stated that she "leaned into" the pitch, and her left knee went over the edge of the plate when she turned. What say you?

If she rotated
away from the pitch, HBP, unless he saw her also shift her "lower posterior left thigh"
toward the pitch.
Of course, I don't know anything about NSA rules.
If her knee "went over the plate" and the hit occurred there, why a ball not strike?
Yes, a tough call.
