Foul ball/batter squared
American Legion game yesterday using FED rules. Runners on 1st and 2nd, 0 out, 0-2 on the batter. Batter squares to bunt, and the pitch is right at his chest. The ball hits the bat, then the batter, then rolls into fair territory.
We have a dead ball/foul ball, count remains 0-2, because the batter did not attempt to bunt the ball, even though the pitch hit the bat. The batter was trying to get out of the way of the pitch.
Did we do right?
