Was watching local high school game. Count was 2-2. The next pitch was inside and the batter swung, ball hit the player above the elbow and went towards dugout. Catcher got the ball and threw it back to the pitcher. There was some confusion and the pitcher threw the ball to the catchers who then tagged the batter and was out. Head coach pulled out rule book but after several minutes the ruling on the field was upheld.
From the conversation I heard the umps said the player swung the bat, missed the ball, and thus was a dropped 3rd strike.
1) never seen this call and looking for comments
2) could you please reference the rule number and copy of rules
