Bob, what does the CMT mean after the 6.06(c)?

Ball pretty much just went straight down, and the catcher had no chance for a play at 3rd anyway. I had a bit of a brain fart and just let the play stand. In retrospect I believe this is a foul ball, but wanted some confirmation.

I assume by "backswing" you meand "follow-through". If so, this is so-called "weak interference" under OBR -- the ball is dead and runners can't advance, but it's not an out (unless, of course, the swing was strike three).
See 6.06(c) CMT.
The rule is different under other rules codes.
