Blaine, you're asking me to diagnose a patient without having performed an examination!! lol.
I'd have to see if the ball is actually pointed to third, at what point it's NOT pointed to 3rd, and/or if she's twisting her wrist at the release.
For a rise, she definitely needs to be palm up during the release. Bullet spin is USUALLY caused the wrist turning at release, instead of snapping.
I still maintain the "doubleball" training aid is the best tool for learning the rise. Not only does it SHOW the direction of her spin so she can clearly see it but, the structure of it helps get the right spin when done correctly.
