Sounds like an illegally batted ball. If it hit the catcher's glove, it's no longer a pitch and the batter isn't allowed to hit it. Add a strike to the count and the ball is dead. The runners have to return to base.

The backswing is not part of the swing. Do you give the batters two strikes when they miss on the frontswing and the backswing? [/B]

Whoops, I wasn't very clear was I?
What I meant was that he gets a strike for swinging in the first place, not an additional strike for the backswing. Since it's NOT a foul ball if there were two strikes on the batter before the pitch, the batter has now struck out.
