For what it's worth, I believe this is a backcourt violation. The save was a catch and throw with one hand. It is not likely that a mere bat could cause the ball to go all the way to the back court. The C saved the crew here.
The team control rule reference you need is 4-12-1,2,+3.
Art. 1...A player is in control of the ball when he/she is holding or dribbling a live ball inbounds. There is no player control when, during a jump ball, a jumper catches the ball prior to the ball touching the floor or a non-jumper, or during an interrupted dribble.
Art. 2...A team is in control of the ball when a player of the team is in control, while a live ball is being passed among teammates and during an interrupted dribble.
Art. 3...Team control continues until:
a. The ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal.
b. An opponent secures control.
c. The ball becomes dead.
