The contact with the bat sends the ball down the first base line in foul territory and batter beats the throw to 1B. What's the call?

NCAA Rule 11.14.3 seems to be appropriate here:
Quote:
11.14.3 The batter may not swing and miss a pitch and then accidentally hit it on the follow-through or after it bounces off the catcher or her glove/mitt.
EFFECT—The ball is dead. The pitch is a strike. The batter is declared out if the pitch was a third strike; otherwise, she remains at bat. Each base runner must return to the base legally occupied at the time of the pitch.

Seems to me they got the call right.
