What's your call, and which coach are you going to share some face time with and what do you say to her.

Sam,
I have 2 outs and nobody on base with 2 runs across the plate. Any face time would probably be with the defensive coach, and it would be brief.
I had the batter out on the foul ball bunt attempt with two strikes and a live ball on the overthrow by F2. It's the player's responsibility to know the game situation and the rules.
Of course, I would have yelled the "batter is out" when she bunted foul with two srrikes.
