			On March 1 Rog posted a similar question on getting started.  Go back there and check out my response. 
 
As to the catcher's throw hitting the batter's bat - unless the batter stuck his bat out there intentionally to create interference, it's merely a bad throw, and stays live and in play unless it rolls into dead ball territory or lodges in someone's gear. 
 
Have fun - it's a great game to officiate!!
