I told him she picked up the right ball, end of discussion. But it brings up an interesting scenario. What’s the correct ruling on something like this?

You lied to the coach. Without referencing any rule, "DEAD BALL". Neither the batter nor the catcher caused the problem, you did. Do over.
You need a deeper ball bag.
