  2. 2Dalton Rushing — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  3. 3Hyeseong Kim — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
  4. 4Danny Jansen — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
  5. 5Danny Jansen — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  6. 6Danny Jansen — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.
  7. 7Danny Jansen — ump said ball, robot ruled strike: overturned.

Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 7 of 7 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
