Two strikes, batter swung and missed a change up. Ball hits the ground, but home plate ump doesn't see it and calls batter out. Batter runs to 1st. Catcher does not tag batter or throw to 1st. Offense coach pleads his case that ball touched the ground, plate ump asks his partner for help and base ump confirms ball did touch the ground. Batter runner was left on 1st. Of course, defense was not happy. How should this have been handled? USSSA if it matters. Thanks
