Poster has not answered follow up questions, so we don't yet know the rest of the story. I don't think he liked it when I mentioned that he probably shouldn't have killed the play in either case. Someone asked if U1 was hit by a batted or thrown ball, but he's not answered that either.

I assumed batted from the OP, but thrown makes more sense if he's had time to be "coming in".

In either case - I think too many umpires want to call time anytime someone appears hurt. Unless it appears that seconds are going to matter and you need life-saving measures, it's almost always a cluster-F when you kill a live ball in a case like either of these.
