Cindy,
First - welcome - some of the others will put smileys & all on their welcoming posts.
Next, there is no requirement that the bat be dropped/placed/tossed in foul territory. It falls wherever it falls.
Finally, if the ball hits the bat in fair territory, it's live & should be played. If the ball hits the bat in foul territory, it's a foul. If the bat hits the ball in fair territory, it's a dead ball & an out. If the bat and the ball are moving towards each other - that's the bat hitting the ball. If the bat & ball are moving in the same direction (bat chasing ball) & they meet, that's a dead ball & an out. - If it's ball chasing bat & they meet - that's still the ball hitting the bat - keep playing.
