How I would call this would depend on what I saw and did not see.

Funny, but exactly the same motion could be a legal first touch and a nothing on a possible second touch.

Assume both times the pitcher brings the ball behind the glove but does not actually touch.

The first time, since I can't see daylight, I would count that as a touch.

The second time, since I can't actually see the touch, I cannot call a double touch.

Since I can't guess the violation, she could get away with either no touch at all or with a double touch.

Single man sucks for calling the IP. You need a partner on the bases to get this one right.
