ASA 10u:
With 0 balls and 0 strikes, B1 squares around to bunt. As the pitch is coming in, she moves her bat towards the ball and then pulls it back before it reaches the plate. The ball does not enter the strike zone (it bounced right in front of the plate). The umpire calls a strike. He confirms that B1 did pull the bat back before the ball arrived, but because she had moved her bat towards the ball, it was a strike anyways. Is this correct?
