Batter bunts, drops bat, and the bat strikes the ball in fair territory in the box.

Is there an interp or rule somewhere I cannot find that says that since the ball and bat are both still in the box it is a foul ball instead of an out?

All I could find was the rule involving the batter still holding the bat while in the box, not one in which the bat has already been released.

Thanks All
