Reply to "Odd walk-off"

Bases loaded, bottom 7, two outs two strikes. Batter squares to bunt and the runner breaks from home! Batter pulls bat back as the catcher lunges forward to attempt to catch the ball. Barrel of the bat ends up in the catcher's glove and the ball goes to the backstop. Defense appeals saying the batter attempted to bunt the ball, but the umpires disagree. Tie game. Runners on second and third now with a 1-2 count. Batter squares again and the runner breaks from third. Ball is launched off the backstop about 15 feet high and the winning run scores! 

How do I know this? I was the batter.. facing a future DI pitcher who I had no chance at hitting!
