An assumption we can make after seeing the pitch five times in slow motion instead of the .25 seconds Scott Thomas had to make the call.

No, he did not give the BR first base. He simply ruled it a batted ball. The fact that it hit the batter should have been picked up by the 3B umpire. It wasn't.

On top of that he gives a girl a walk on a pitch on the corner and at the knees.
The pitch was called a ball "at the knees" because the knees are NOT in the strike zone.



Now, the pitch that hit the 'Bama batter on the knee with no effort on her behalf to avoid it should have been seen.
