NFHS 2-8-2...Attempted Bunt. "Any non-swinging movement of the bat intende to tap the ball into play. Holding the bat in the strike zone is considered a bunt attempt."
Doesn't sound like she was doing that.
"In order to take a pitch, the bat must be withdrawn-pulled backward and away from the ball."
That sounds like what she was doing.
>>>Then batter begins pulling the bat away from the ball obviously intending to not bunt the ball.<<<
Even with the rule change that was supposed to make it easier for us to judge a bunt attempt, rather than judging an attempt to bunt, we now get to judge an attempt to "not" bunt!
They should have left it alone, but that's just my opinion.
