If this was a higher level game, catcher is not crowding the batter, and the batter takes a "giant step back" and reaches wayyyy back into the catcher with her bat...???
What I am saying is interference requires an act of interference, not an intentional act of interference.
If this was 16U A game, I can certainly see interference as a legitimate call.
It's only "clearly" an attempt to swing because of the age and low level of play, IMO.
