11-11 section 3a If the plate umpire calls the pitch a ball and the catcher requests help, the plate umpire MUST ask for help

Another ridiculous NFCA...er, I mean, NCAA rule. RH batter, runner on 3rd. I'm sure the BU has a perfect angle on that possible check-swing, but, as Bob notes, you have to go for help if asked.
One of these days the NCAA is going to have to actually start getting the umpire's input on the rule book if they want it to be a book with some integrity.
JMHO,
