No visual evidence or reaction by the umpire that the runner touched home plate. Based upon fastpitch softball discussions / rules, a runner is safe if passing an untouched base but out on appeal. I saw a tag afterwards by the catcher, but do not see an appeal to the umpire. Therefore I believe a hard safe signal is not warranted, since the runner did not touch home plate. A no call would not have been proper either, but do believe the safe signal should have been quicker.
