Umpire was in C and should have seen the play. I am not saying I have never missed a call or screwed up a call. What I am saying is that it was obvious to EVERYONE that the kid was not faking being hurt by the foul. Even after he finally picked him self off the dirt, he could hardly walk to the dugout while the coach was asking what the call was. I remember being told at our classes that sometimes, when you really didn't get a clear look at something, many times the players will make the call for you. Especially when it involves getting hit with the baseball... it hurts, and they usually react to the pain.
