A.R. 11-0: The batter swings and misses the pitch; however, on her follow through, the pitch contacts the bat and rolls into fair territory. RULING: Dead ball strike. Base runners must return to their bases at the time of the pitch. If contact is intentional, the batter is declared out.
Dropped Third Strike. 11-14-1 When with fewer than two outs and first base occupied, the catcher fails to catch a third strike before the ball touches the ground.

How are the stipulations not met? The ball was the 3rd strike and it was not caught by the catcher before it hit the ground.
This is not the same as AR 11-0, as the ball rebounded off the catcher and into the bat.
