I now understand the point of this post. If it is a two-strike attempt that goes foul, you need to know in your mind if it was an attempted bunt or attempted hit. I would use hand position to make that determination. If the hands are apart, as is typical bunt form, she is out on the attempted bunt. If she brings her hands together, as is typical hitting form, I am calling foul ball. This is going to be a HTBT play, but will definitely be thru the eyes of the Umpire and not thru the eyes of the batter or the coach.
