Ditto.
Is " over the batters box and just about over the inside part of the plate" in the strike zone?

The ball can be a millimeter or two in the strike zone and contact a knee several inches from the strike zone, i.e the rule says

When a legally pitched ball hits the batter while the ball is in the strike zone.
not that the batter is contacted by a pitch while the batter is in the strike zone.

7:4:M - When a pitched ball is prevented from entering the strike zone by any actions of the batter, other than hitting the ball

So I see this as, the ball was going to enter the strike zone if she hadnt been crowding the plate with her knee almost on the inside corner. . .In my book this is a strike.

Well, when you leave out the reasonable response and only state the wise-*** response, what do you expect?
