would it be a swing

Saw one yesterday that made me think of this. The batter was holding the bat in the basic bunt position, then moved it slightly forward across the plate to meet the ball, still holding the bat in a "push" position with both ends of the bat moving in parallel.
If the question came up, I would have ruled it a bunt. By the "on a bunt, the ball comes to the bat, on a swing, the bat goes to the ball" principle, would it be a swing? Even though she "passed the bat through the strike zone", there was no "breaking of the wrists".
