The way the play is described B37 forces the ball into A's end zone with his bat. That would seem to mean a touchback. However, the ball is in A32's possession, and when A32 loses possession (regardless of how he does so), it's a fumble. So the force into A's end zone was A32's fumble. Hence a safety.
