.....with 2 strikes and ball hits her in foot. Pitch was a CU. Batter runs to 1st and after discussion umps call her out. Girl on 2nd advanced to 3rd and has to go back to 2. I'm guessing right call was made. Strikeout and then deadball because it hit batter? Just another weird play you rarely see.......

Correct, if the batter swings and misses, it is a strike regardless of whether the ball hits the batter or not. Any pitch that hits the batter is immediately dead, so no runners may advance and are returned to the base occupied at the time of the pitch.
