Make the call
I want to see what the ruling would be on the following sitch. I want to know myself what the proper ruling(s) would be because I am not sure. I will tell you what the umps did after some replies.
1 out, runner on second. Pitcher delivers a pitch to the batter. On the pitch, runner breaks for third. Batter swings at pitch and misses. Here is where I hope I explain this so you can visualize.... After the swing, catcher comes up throws the ball to 3rd. The ball on the throw hits the bat. The catcher threw behind the batter while his bat was still behind him from his swing. There was no intent from the batter to interfere What do you have. (hope I was clear in the explanation)

Yep, I've got nothing, play on...as long as there wasn't any intention to interfere with the catcher either with the bat or trying to get in his way. If he's standing in the box, ball is live.

I believe 100% of the umpires here will tell you that the correct "non-call" here is play on... so what did the umps on the scene do? (And what happened to the ball after it hit the bat?)

Batter out for interference, runner out because they determined that the throw would have made it to 3rd in time to retire the runner.
