I can't imagine any reason a catcher would get hit five times in a row. I don't think there is a rule to protect him. There might be one to apply after he gets hit again. Your catcher still runs the risk of getting hurt and being sent to the hospital before that happens.
If it isn't catcher's interfence with a weird swing, what is it then? Tell us so we don't have to keep guessing about this highly unusual behavior. How did the umpire treat the 1st situation, the 2nd, the 3rd, the 4th and 5th time? Please describe what happened.
