I am quite sure that you've been calling this wrong. Blocking the ball with her hand is not an attempt to get out of the way. And I have seen batters try to "block" the ball with the bat - we call that a strike. Even though it is defensive, it is still an attempt to hit the ball. There really is no difference between that and with your batter who interferes with the ball by hitting it with her hand. She is interfering.
