Batter pivots to bunt, fouls the ball directly to the catchers chest protector, hits catchers arm, bounces up and catcher catches the ball. Catcher never moved from her squat position. Is the batter out or is it treated like a swinging foul tip that the catcher catches?
In our situation, the umpire called the batter out and his explanation was that the ball didn't go directly into her glove and she had to make a play to catch it. Sounded funny to me, but didn't really know what the right call was.
