P.S. And I am blind in one eye and can't see out of the other and I could tell what color and how much of her finger was covered.
The police interview 3 witnesses to a hit and run accident. All three describe the vehicle as a different color and one says it was a pickup truck and the other 2 say it was a car.

Perhaps your TV needs the white balance adjusted.

My TV is not as ostentatious as yours. I saw it as just below her fingernail and covering the first knuckle from the end of her finger. I.E. regular Band-Aid size.

I think your outrage that this was permitted to happen has resulted in some embellishment on your part.

What we didn't see (and I was channel flipping) was if there was some discussion with the umpire(s) prior to the game. And I didn't see (again flipping) any complaints by the opposing coach.

The young lady pitched an excellent game, particularly since she's only a freshman and went the distance.

BTW, that pitcher did not have overpowering speed, she relies a lot on spinning the ball and changing speeds. The index finger is the most important digit for pitchers (other than opposable thumbs ) in commanding a pitch. Trying to throw a pitch with a Band-Aid or tape to the end of the index finger is actually counter-productive as it reduces the feel of the finger on the ball. So unless there was some illegal substance on that Band-Aid or tape I think it was perfectly fine. Given that she threw well over 100 pitches in the game, the bandage likely was changed out several time during the game.

And I don't even call NCAA.
