I would too.
Looking through the various rules, I cannot find this EXACT scenario supported in any way. However, we are charged with enacting "fairness" when possible. We can't make the awards based on TOT from the outfielder, as the catcher obtaining possession ended that "play".
I think in this sitch, we are forced to fall back on the God rule, and "make a ruling on a play not covered by the rulebook."
In other rulesets, a ball carried out of play is a 1-base award from the TODB (reference a player catching the ball and then going over a wall). Sans a rule in this particular rulebook, I would be tempted to go for consistency here, and award 1 base from when the catcher left the field of play.
