There was something else I didn't realize at first with this play. That was nearly interference (unintentional, but still interference) by R1 on this play. That ball, after the deflection, doesn't miss hitting R1 by much. Ironically Kalamazoo Christian would have been better off had she interfered.

IIRC the rule correctly, the runner would be out for interference, and the batter would be out because this was a "fly ball" that could be caught by F6. R2 would have been put back on first base. This would have given them one last chance to come back instead of having the game end on the triple play.
