I have also been challenged that the bat hits ball would have to be intentional for an out.
7.6.I has nothing to do with this scenario

7.6.K
The batter is out when the batter hits the ball a second time in fair territory.
EXCEPTION: When the batter drops the bat and the ball rolls against it.....

That should be all you need. If it doesn't meet the exception, it is INT.
