I agree with those who feel that getting a second opinion is rarely a bad thing. You made your call and now have the opportunity to confirm it or accept that something else may have happened. Provided that you don't delay the game too long, it is perfectly acceptable and even encouraged by some associations. While it was HTBT, it sounds like you two got the call handled correctly.
For what it's worth, malicious contact can also be initiated by the catcher. Maybe your partner saw a different angle and can help you determine guilt. If the pros can do it with all of their training and experience, so can you. Don't feel bad about being second guessed at a Freshman game.
