I was comfortable with my partners decision, too (strike), but the coach griped (surprise!).
I was wondering how you guys are calling this. I look at it this way:
1) "holding the bat in the strike zone"
- "holding the bat" also applies to a drag, but does not apply when the batter is clearly NOT attempting a bunt anymore (i.e. when she is attempting to avoid being hit by a pitch)
- I don't place much stock in "strike zone" part of the rule for a drag bunt
2) withdrawn – pulled backward and away from the ball
- withdrawn means pulling the bat out from the bunting position; doesn't matter if it is back or up.
