Batter believes this is a dropped 3rd srtike and runs to 1st. base.
F2 throws ball to F3.
Do we award ball 4 to batter because the catcher did not throw the ball directly back to the pitcher?
If we do not award ball 4, what rule do we tell OC was used to put batter back in BB to complete her at bat?

No rule necessary. Coach - that was only strike 2. Batter will come back to the box. F3 will throw to pitcher. Play on. Don't make it difficult if it's not difficult.
