Foul tip and catch.

Careful, Glen.
It is a foul tip and a strike, but not a catch for an out (unless it is strike 3). Live ball.
It is a foul tip because it hit the glove first and then was caught by the catcher.
It would be a foul ball (and a dead ball) if it hit the catcher's equipment first. It may not be caught for an out in this case.
