OK, I am the quilty umpire that had the play. Have looked it up, and now
believe that I got the call correct. This was an excellent game [ending up 1-0 in favor of the team that was on defense during the questionable play.] I certainly did not want it to effect the game in any way. Being behind the play, all I saw was catcher take the ball from her knees. Coach never asked me to get help, [probably should have on my own, but did not]

Besides NSA, which rules care about "higher than the batter's head"?

Does NSA, or any another "higher than the batter's head" code, claim that a ball that does not travel higher than the batter's head must be a foul tip? (Answer: No. The phrase is in no way a defining element.)
ASA removed the wording out of recognition that a ball could be lower than the batter's head and not be foul tip, and also that a ball could be higher than the batter's head and still be a foul tip. Therefore, the phrase was useless and served merely to confuse.

Here is a link to Cactus Umpires which discusses foul tip / foul ball.
