Yup, my third option. Personally, I'm okay with any of the following, plus what I'll call 2.5, letting it hit me and bouncing straight down while continuing my count.

1, 2, and 2.5 are likely to result in a 5 second violation. 3 is just as good.

It might just depend on how quickly I can think. If I catch it without thinking, I'll kill the clock. If I think quickly enough to get out of the way, even better.

2. Bat it back to him and continue the count. Don't start it over.

3. Stop the clock and re-administer. This defeats B1's purpose and allows A to set up their defense.

Personally, I like all three but prefer #1.
