I don't see how you can call both a ball and a strike on a pitch. Too weird.

Hmmm...you have a book on the field with you???
As for the strike, it would have to stand. It cannot be undone. The penalty, according to your original post, for not returning the ball directly to the pitcher was to have a ball called. So, you are calling the strike on the pitch, and the subsequent ball on the illegal action of the catcher and F5.
