Rachel - are you trying to say that the batter leaned forward to bunt, and brought the bat back --- all the way back to a catcher who was behind the plate, and low enough to hit the glove?
If so --- it would seem such an action was visually obviously intentional. She's almost have to look for the glove to get back far enough to hit a catcher's glove if the catcher was set up in the normal spot.
However, that said --- if it was not OBVIOUSLY intentional, then this is Catcher Obstruction. It is the catcher's sole responsibility to avoid contact here unless the batter caused the contact INTENTIONALLY.
