Hi Ryan,
That can be an awkward ball to deal with.
I think the best solution is either to push the ball back or play a short topspin. If you are going to push the ball you need to adjust your hand to the speed and spin on the ball. It doesn't have to be a strong shot but just at least making them play another ball.
If you try to topspin, you will need a very small and fast upward action to lift the ball over the net. Since you don't have much space or time the vertical lifting action will get the ball over the net. It can be a really effective shot if you can execute it well.
