You know, you are correct, but sometimes people just make mistakes. It is probably a given this umpire hasn't seen another national, but you never know. Maybe the right people didn't see it happen, maybe the teams actually understood the mistake, but you never know.
Maybe this umpire is a good umpire and just had a brain fart. OTOH, maybe she was assigned as a reward or favor for one reason or another (which should not happen).
I'll guarantee you one thing, she never kicks that call again at any level.
