They called him out on a swinging strike three and returned the runner to 1B 
 
If it wasn't strike three, we have "backswing hit the catcher" if the throw does not retire the runner we have "Time" hitter stays up to bat and the AB resumes, with R1 returning to 1B.  First time I've seen that play in an MLB game.  Nobody is out unless the throw retires the runner.
