Bob,
Thank you! As a new umpire, all I have is the NFHS Rule book and my own understanding of baseball, however misguided it is now looking to be.
I was scouring the rule book trying to find some guidance on that particular situation and I didn't find any. I don't have a case book (and perhaps I should) to look at, so your help is much appreciated.
I stand corrected.

CASE 7.2.1B, last sentences: "In bunting, any movement of the bat toward the ball when the ball is over or near the plate area, is a strike. The mere holding of the bat in the strike zone is not an attempt to bunt." [/B][/QUOTE]
