QC Umpire
The thing that looked bad in the batter/runner being hit by the batted ball, was the PU started to kill the play. Replays show his hands going up in the air, so either he was anticpating a call (and we all know that is bad) or he had some doubt that the ball may have struck the batter/runner.
Even my 8-year-old daughter knows that when the umpire's hands go in the air above his/her head it is the signal for deadball.
I agree, the third base umpire kicked the call as well, she should have been killing the play immediately.
That's where the Northwestern Coach should have been talking to the umpire crew...instead of the later in the game when she kept her runners on base after the double play on the flyout to left field.
