Batted Ball Hits Umpire

Did anybody catch the Detroit @ Cleveland game today? I was watching highlights and there was one play that seemed kind of odd. There was a runner on first, Sheffield was batting and he hits a liner towards 2nd Base. The pitcher had no play on it. The 2B Umpire, Larry Vanover was in B and the ball nailed him right on the shin.

The umpires didn't kill the play and let it play out. I was kind of surprised they didn't kill it. Did they just miss the call or was there some other circumstance that I'm overlooking?
