Well, I wasn't there, but I imagine the defense's argument went something like this...

A duly-authorized, well-dressed, highly-trained, highly-compensated OHSAA official stepped up and, in no uncertain terms, declared the batter "OUT!!" The catcher, who was taught not to argue with umpires, did exactly what she was supposed to do after the final out was officially called.

That's their side of the argument, more or less...
