looked in rule book but did not find anything I thought directly applied to this unique situation. Bob probably can reference something. Common sense, however, dictates that the batter will not be awarded first. I dont believe that the ball is even dead, but could be wrong. 5-1-1a states that a ball is dead when a "pitch" touches a batter. I don't believe that a rebounded ball from catcher would fall under the category of a pitch.
