Changing the Count After a Pitch

Had this happen in the game I coached last weekend. Looked like a swing to everyone except the 2 in blue. He approached me later and said that this particular batter did that on every pitch. Just lazily and inattentively slung her bat through the strike zone even if the pitch was 10 feet outside. I watched her later and he was right. On the pitch I questioned, it appeared to me she was trying to hit the ball, albeit extremely poorly, but I can see his point. Perhaps the batter in your play did the same.
