If a player swings and the ball hits off her hands, isn't this supposed to be a dead ball strike, rather than a pop out.

Overall I thought the umpiring was pretty decent this weekend, although the umpires strike zone seem a bit wide tonight. It was wide for both teams though.

Maybe a stinger. If it really did hit her hand I think there would have been more of a fuss.
