I guess the one smileyface wasn't enough.
No, I wasn't serious... although since this is TECHNICALLY not addressed in the book, I suppose it's as good as any other solution.
In reality, I'm calling this a strike. It was going to be a strike had the batter not interrupted the ball's flight prematurely (and not with the bat). No sense rewarding this action, whether intentional or not. If I have to invoke 9.01c, so be it.
