Sacrifice?

RJMHSBaseballWeb member since 2007

Runners on first and second. Batter squares to bunt. He drops a perfect bunt down the first base line.

The right play is for the first baseman to take the out at first. But he comes up gunning and fires to third. Everyone is safe.

Does the batter still get a sacrifice for properly executing the bunt? What is the rule number for this decision?

I believe from a plate appearance standpoint it’s still a sacrifice. The batter shouldn’t be penalized for executing the bunt and the fielder making a poor decision.
