Catch/No catch?

Check CCA #46 for a similar play:

A 4/Goal @ B's 18. The score is A14-B20. The QB throws a legal forward pass to airborne tight end who receives the ball on B's 8 and, while still airborne, deliberately bats the ball forward toward B's goal line. The eligible slot back catches the ball on B's 3 and crosses B's goal line with the ball. Cancel Score or TD?

* (a) Touchdown
* (b) Cancel Score

@Theisey: to be more precise: forward pass can be batted in any direction. backward pass cannot be batted forward
