Notre Dame vs Missouri Dead Ball Strike/Hit By Pitch (Video)

[Lcubed48]

At around the 2:01:00 mark of a game between Notre Dame and Missouri, a play occurs that has me confused. The 1-2 pitch hits the batter who appears to be in the strike zone when hit. The batter doesn't swing. The initial call is a DBS, then when all is said and done, the announcers say it was a dead ball - no strike, no HBP, and no ball.

Is there another option in the NCAA rules that isn't present in the NF rule set? As per 7-2-1g, & 7-2-1h, I would have a DBS. That wasn't the final call.
