Out or continue at bat?

[bsaucer]

I remember watching an NCAA game where a batter squared to bunt and was hit by the pitch. As the batter trotted down to first base, the PU appealed to the BU, who signaled a strike. They then called the batter back to the plate. I don't think this was a third strike situation...

And if it was a third strike, the batter would be out. Has nothing to do with the OP where the ball hits the bat.

case book 7.2.1 B. The mere holding of the bat in the strike zone is not an attempt to bunt. (10.1.4a).

So... you've answered your own question.
