WHAT!! Why did you do that girl?
One of the things the coach yelled (I kind of blocked him out after awhile) was that I allowed the "other team to initiate a balk"... my partner later confirmed the base coach was yelling to his batter "call time out" .. I never heard that (way too loud and way too many people being loud) and of course its not relevant since the batter never requested time out nor did I grant it.. but pitcher touched and began.. and stopped.. Ending her season in a terrible way.

Yep, that's a tough way to end a game. As you mentioned in the OP "the batter never requested time out nor did I grant it." so the pitcher should have continued the delivery. If the first base wanted time out he should have requested it instead of having the batter do it.
Perhaps your partner could have called time out when he heard that the coach was requesting that play stop. Why didn't your partner kill the play?
