All of this is what I thought.
I guess she did make a mistake in the game. Two, actually, but same mistake. There were two "close" fair balls, and I don't think she pointed. She didn't verbalize anything though, so the assumption was fair ball. On one, the ball hit the ground literally right next to third base, so anybody could see it was fair. I'm not sure how close is close enough to signal, but nobody should've been confused by that one.
The other was a line drive down the line, landed in the grass, clearly fair, but probably within two feet or so. She probably should've pointed on that one.
Of course the coach on the other team got on her about it, though in neither case did her not emphatically pointing change what any of the players were doing. They're just very sore losers (in that same game, they tried to argue for an extra inning, citing a made-up a house rule that there's one extra inning in the playoffs; they also tried to institute HBP limits, not abide by actual house-rule pitcher inning limits with their one good pitcher, etc.).
