You didn't specify which ruleset (high school/NFHS, ASA, etc.,), so I'm going to give the ASA answer.
If the batter swings and the ball hits her, it's an immediate dead ball, a called strike, and runners can't advance. If it's strike 3, the batter is out. The rule citation is ASA 8-6-D.
Did the umpire acknowledge that the ball hit the batter?

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
