While they are different sports, on the things in question here there isn't really any difference from baseball.
The umpire should call and signal the ball foul when it hits the bat a second time (bat still in batter's hands, batter still in box) and when a batted ball is close to the line.
Are you saying that he didn't call it foul and left the ball live and in play or that the players reacted as if it was foul so it was obviously foul and he apparently just didn't signal it?
On the mask...softball teaches use the left hand. They're already busting this guy's chops about that over on the softball board! This particular umpire has been a frequent poster on that forum for many years.
