Yes. Once she leaves the box her intent doesn't matter. If she stays in the box she is generally safe there as long as the umpire doesn't think she interfered intentionally.

I want to thank @marriard and @The Man In Blue for the wealth of information they bring to this board, they make me to not "dislike" umpires so much! Seriously, thank you guys!
The old adage is a great umpire is hardly ever noticed, it's only the bad umpires that draw attention to themselves that everyone notices..........I highly disagree with this, I notice them all, especially the great ones! And I never forget any of them, especially the great ones!!I am honestly not sure why more umpires are not on forums such as this.
this is great for me - people put up scenarios and provide the opportunity to think through the situation and decide what I would call and then make sure I have the call right and I am not misapplying or misunderstanding the rules. All without having to do it on the field.
