I'm with Tom on this. Trying to initiate a discussion worked. Now it seems you're trying to shove it down our throat because you are not getting the exact answer you want. I think it has been addressed perfectly by some.
It is simple. Speaking ASA.
The ball is dead the moment the runner contacts the fielder attempting to field the ball (Rule 1-Interference).
The ball is foul based on it's location at the time of the INT. (Rule 1 - Foul Ball.D)
I am NOT ruling the runner out because it was not a fair ball and the defense did not have the opportunity at that time to make an out. (Rule 8.7.J)
If the bunt was on two strikes, the BR is out (Rule 7.6.G). If less than 2 strikes at the TOP, it is a strike on the batter (Rule 7.4.E)
