It appeared that the ball hit him in the side of the neck. The ball hit him on the sholder and deflected to his neck. They showed the replay again today... the umpire actually verbalized "foul" before hitting the deck. I had a varsity catcher this year block a ball in the dirt (he was wearing a HSM by the way...) the ball hit him in the neck, he stood up to get the ball and dropped like a ton of bricks. He was out cold.
