Check 2.00 "BALL"
A BALL is a pitch which does not enter the strike zone in flight and is not struck at by the batter.
If the pitch touches the ground and bounces through the strike zone it is a "ball." If such a pitch touches the batter, he shall be awarded first base. If the batter swings at such a pitch after two strikes, the ball cannot be caught, for the purposes of Rule 6.05 (c) and 6.09 (b). If the batter hits such a pitch, the ensuing action shall be the same as if he hit the ball in flight.

Hold on a second. We went over this a month or two ago. I thougt it was decided that if the pitch that bounced was stuck at by the batter, and then caught by the catcher, the batter is out.
