Holding the batter to the standard of running every time you call ball on a check swing that hits the ground is not a good idea (especially in the case listed here).

i must apologize, for whatever reason, the way i was envisioning the play in my head, i didnt realize the PU is calling a ball and not going for help right away.

EDIT: if the PU thinks the swing wasnt close enough to warrant going for help in the first place, i dont see why they would go for help once asked by the C or DC
