I agree that it was incredibly close. I felt like on my first viewing that she had caught the ball before she rolled over and the rolling over is where she lost it trying to get it thrown back in. But there were 2 outs, so there was no point in rolling over. Would it be appropriate to consider that fact here? It seems like it should perhaps shift the balance a little that at best she lost the ball in the transfer for a throw she didn't need to make.
