If you want equity, that's a legal position. Under softball (and, in fact, baseball) rules, it is an appeal that no swing was a swing. The opposite isn't an appeal, it is challenging judgement.

Why so? Because an umpire shouldn't guess a swing, he is tracking the pitch, and will only call an obvious swing; we have a base umpire that can provide help we missed a swing. Since he only called the obvious swing, no reason to allow an appeal of that; since he left the questionable ones for appeal, that is why this is the ONLY appeal allowed on balls and strikes judgement.

Pretty sure your partners have questioned your judgment, too; don't think you have the right to overturn their calls.
