Yesterday I was only umpire for a U-16 FP game. The pitcher for Team "A" was extraordinary. At the end of 5 innings she had struck out 13 batters.

Batters from Team "B" were swing at "eye high" pitches with regularity. On one batter with two strikes and two outs, a blazing fast ball came in about "eye high" I flinched and when I recovered I saw the batters hands coming back as if it were a checked swing that went too far. I called a strike and was greeted by whoops and hollers from Team "B" I told the manager that I felt the batter went around and broke the plane of the plate for a strike. He said she never swung at the ball.

What to do? I know that I did not see the swing completely due to my flinching, however I already called strike three.
Defense was leaving the field.

1. Should I stick to my strike three and suck it up
2. Admit that I did not completely see the swing and then do what?

Jim
