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.

I agree wholeheartedly with this answer. What I may do, however, is have a brief discussion with the pitcher, maybe at the start of the next inning after she has completed her warmup tosses.
"You are awful close to bringing your hands together twice durng your windup. You may want to watch that."
If she is doing it purposely, she now knows that she is being watched, if not, you can explaiun further if needed.
