Here's how it went down:
Batter was in box and swung at a pitch that popped up about 3 feet in front of batter and was in field of play. The batter did not attempt to move (I think she thought it was foul tip). The catcher went to get the ball and bumped into the batter. The home plate umpire immediately called batter interference and was out. 1) Was this the correct call? 2) can the field umpire overturn the call?
Also, if there is a specific rule to reference for this please post.
