That is a tough call for the PU to make and the batter's reaction on the contact was more of an "oh, ****, I gotta run". She didn't hesitate for a micro-second once she saw the ball in fair territory, but neither did DN on calling it foul which as we all know at this point is a bell which cannot be unrung regardless of the outcome.
Afterwards, the batter seemed to be showing her coach something, but on the replay, it didn't look like her left hand was over or really down on the knob.
