I'm fine with bunting in a situation where you "drastically change a game" to use your words. A first inning bunt with no outs doesn't come close to fitting that description. Late in a game to tie or take the lead? I'm all for that. But the most important resource is outs because you only get 21. If you're going to give one away there better be major returns. The misuse of outs via the bunt is a rampant problem throughout high school and college which is why I'd be happy banning it altogether.

Btw Atlee won 11-1. Good thing both teams played for that one run early.
