Note that Scott stated the the ball hit the ground before the catcher caught it.
The "name" of the rule is misleading. Any ball not caught in flight by the catcher is considered a D3K (or U3K, as I prefer) when applicable.
IOW, once it hits the ground, it is irrelevant if the catcher actually catches the ball.
