The first part of the rule deals with a moving bat hitting a ball in fair territory. The second part deals with a moving ball hitting a stationary bat that's been discarded. So, if the bat is still moving at the time of the contact, the ball is dead and the batter is out. If the bat is stationary when the contact occurs you have to judge that the bat was discarded with the intention of making contact to rule interference.
