I think it was a close one. I think it was ruled that McCann hit the bat, not the bat hit him.

If that is it, it sounds like "weak INT" doesn't apply since the interpretation seems to say the bat has to hit the catcher which doesn't appear to be the case.

I found a video clip on mlb.com and I definitely would have called it backswing interference.
Two things you can't buy. Experience and good judgment.
