The point remains (despite the irrelevant chatter about home runs and whatever): the call was probably incorrect. Review Rule 2.0 "Strike". Intent to hit the ball is the key criterion for judging a swinging strike ("is struck at by batter and is missed"). If the batter is not swinging in an effort to hit the ball, it is not a swinging strike.
