This is college, but does anyone know the technical rule that allowed this to be called a WP and runners given a base? I thought the umpire was part of the playing field and you take the ball as it lands. I don't know why you would treat this any differently than if the ball hit the ump's shin guard and landed directly under the catcher. It would have been a WP if the ump wasn't there, but as it stands, it's the batting team's bad luck.
Just odd.
