Hands are part of the bat??

[slowballbaker]

Why was she not awarded 1st base??The ball hit her on the hands and almost took her head off...
The only thing I can think is that the unmpire thought she was attempting to bunt at the ball....

I have a problem with the other Tennessee player that got hit on the knee..You must make an attempt to get out of the way of the ball(what is this..I can understand getting out of the way of a change-up). But this pitch was a 60mph plus inside fastball or screwball that ran in on the batter and caught her on the right knee...And she was not awarded 1st base..How many players can get out of the way of that pitch???Bad call....

I have seen some bad calls tonight..What does the real umpires think????
