She was close enough to the bag that she should have been going down into a slide by then.

Yeah, I like tough players. Ones who say, "Bring it On, Cream Puff! I am only three feet away from you and I am going to put my face right into the path of your rocket arm!"
Kinda like the batter who intentionally gets HBP on the fingers, wrists, elbows, ankles and knees. Way different from the wusses to turn to take it in the fanny.
Even the TH's got this one right, if she had been sliding at the point where she got hit, she would have never reached the base.
The "pull up" was what I saw when F4 flashed right in front of her, which triggered the possibility (or impossibility) of OBS.
