But this pitch was a 60mph plus inside fastball or screwball that ran in on the batter and caught her on the right knee...And she was not awarded 1st base..How many players can get out of the way of that pitch???Bad call....

How can it be a bad call when the decision is based on THAT umpire's judgment.

You may believe the umpire's judgment to be suspect, but the call belongs to the umpire.
