What is the call?
Bottom of first inning, runner on first, left handed pitcher, left handed batter, nobody out - batter turns toward the pitcher to bunt - the ball hits the bat goes straight down onto the plate and straight back up to hit the bat. The batter didn't try to hit the ball a second time- it just went down and up into the bat so fast he couldn't do anything to prevent it from happening. Oh yeah, and the runner was stealing.
What should the umpire say?
