Any batter can easily club the catcher while remaining in the batter's box. I hope you're not calling CI on that.
This is something that is not contemplated by the rules. The closest thing I can find is 6.05(h) Comment (even if the catcher is hit in foul territory).
You could also call it weak INT - add a strike and return the runners.
