I have seen the same thing in slow pitch games. Guys not wanting to walk but wanting to hit. I always ring up the strike. My philosophy for rec ball is that I want every opportunity to get outs and strikes lead to outs.

I do not have my rule book with me but I do not think it matters if the batter swings at a ball that has hit the ground prior to the attempt at the pitch. It matters if he makes contact with the ball that has hit the ground (slow pitch only)but if he swings and misses after it hits the ground, I ring up the strike (happens all the time in co-ed).
