Uh, no. There is a difference between the bat hitting the ball a second time and the ball hitting the bat.

From JEA:

Professional Interpretation: A batted ball which bounces up sharply from the ground and is contacted a second time by the bat in fair territory is not grounds for calling the batter out. If no intent to interfere is evident and the batter is in the box, this shall be ruled a foul ball only.
