PU asked to see wrist (batter removes batting glove) PU 'sees' mark on wrist, and then signals award to 1st.
I am sure there is more to the story that TeVee didn't show but I thought the situation was odd.

Somewhat unorthodox and certainly in not in any umpire manual, but a method to resolve an issue. Good for the umpire to take the necessary action.
