Sounds to me like this all occured in very rapid order, inside pitch with batter trying to avoid getting hit, catcher recieves pitch and attempts to fire down to 3b, hitting the batter. This is much the same as a batter swinging and missing a pitch while the catcher is trying to throw to 2nd. If the batter stays in the box and does nothing 'unusual' to hinder the catcher's play, then I have nothing.
If the Batter was still in the box, doesn't the catcher bear some responsibility in trying to avoid hitting him?
