The PU told the coach he did not think the batter was hit
This statement is what leads me to believe the umpire was not blocked.
As all good umpires know, you don't alibi. If you didn't see it, acknowledge it and go to your partner the second it comes into question. In turn, the partner should not alibi either. Either s/he definitely saw the ball hit the batter or the ruling must be that the batter wasn't hit.
