This would be called a swinging third strike?
Yup, & a dead ball.
ANY third strike, including one that hits the batter and the pitch is in the strike zone, i.e., she is leaning over the plate or a wicked curve hits her after it crosses the plate.

And I hate using the term "dropped third strike". Too many people assume that strike 3 in the dirt but cleanly scooped by the catcher is not a "dropped third strike", but is definitely an "uncaught third strike".
