1)My apologies to you FUBLUE, I only meant to say that I was the field ump.
2) The only reason I included the part about the gaining advantage is I have heard many times throughout my tenure from different umpires I have "trained" with, the notion of advantage...as in "if she's not gaining an advantage, don't call it". Now that I am working my way up into higher levels of ball (high school, jr. college, and eventually college) I find myself having to get rid of bad habits...one of those being the advantage vs non-advantage.
3) Like I said in my original post, from the first base line, between first and second and between third and short, it looked as if she never lost contact with the pitcher's plate even though upon closer inspection, she may have been. I say that now because out of the thousands of times I've watched it in my head since then, there was no clear indication, from where I was standing, that she ever lost contact. So I never called it.
Thanks for all those that replied!
