Well,
Sometimes we "just have to umpire."
Most calls in a game can be made by Granny in the top row of the stadium.
As umpires we are paid to call the other 5%.
As we know in baseball "hands are hands" and "bat is bat." you and your partner made a determination that the ball hit the bat. Good.
Stick with it . . .
We know that there are "no ties" on a play at first, the same goes for this specific issue. The pitch either hit the bat first or the hand first.
You guys used all the information at hand and simply made a call.
