Obviously, as we all know (or should by now), that if you (the umpire) judge the act of the batter's hitting the catcher's glove to be intentional, that could be interference as the batter was not, in your judgment, attempting to strike the ball, but the catcher's glove. However, that would really need to be obvious and that may very much depend on the age level involved in the game.
