You are correct on the 2nd situation about going to the umpire on the line. On the first situation, NCAA mechanic with no one on base is to go to the open umpire on the line. While the batter originally went to 1B, there was no one on base when the call had to be made, so if it was a check swing, the correct mechanic would have been to go to the 3B umpire. We still do not know for sure this is what was asked, it might have been, but don't assume this is what was asked, it could have been something else

Larry,

I know that you know a lot of people. Why don't you ask her what she asked the BU1? I'm pretty sure She it wasn't asking whether the sun was shinning in his eyes...

Thanks, Sander. I miss you guys as well. I am trying to find a way to get back. Way too much fun over there.

I will ask Kevin when he gets back. If I get the chance to ask Traci before that, I will.

Our best to your family. How is your umpiring career going. Any world championships yet?

I think she just messed up. After Candrea came out to question the call, she looked up and didn't see U3 on the line (he had moved to B when the runner trotted to first). So she went to U1 on the line and clearly called out, "Did she go?"
