Just because "intent" is not in the rule does not defacto mean this is INT. She is in the box, a ball hitting her/her bat COULD be INT.. but could also be live ball play on.
If its live ball play on, then it could be 1 base from TOP for DBT.
These are my thoughts.. this is a good point of discussion. I'm glad I can think it through on the mb in case I do see it one day.
It is my instinct that defense owes for this play.. not offense. The have a position called a "catcher" for a reason...
