Yes the umpire said he agreed the ball did not hit the ground. he said it had to go past the mound before it could be caught for an out unless it had tipped off her glove.

What was this? Some kind of sick morphing together of the foul tip rule, the infield fly rule, and the hockey blue line?

Kinda makes the obstruction "confusion" among umpires pale by comparison.
