I seen on twitter just a few minutes ago that a 7th grader that plays for North Laurel, she laid down a bunt and it turned into an inside the park home run.

How does this happen?

I would say that there is now way this is possible. I hear it way to much. They bunt the ball and got a double or triple or homerun. I guess people don't understand what an error is??
I take, no way back. Here is how it could happen:
Batter lays the bunt down to third. The third baseman, along with the rest of the team falls under a spell from an evil witch. They all fall asleep and the batter is awarded a homerun due to the fact that no one touched the ball.
It can happen. Lol

Come to find out, it was a 3 base error that allowed the player to come around to score

I was hoping for the magical spell. That would be a better story.

It's not impossible but you can't limit your definition of bunt. A very hard push bunt could possibly hit a gap and roll a long way. A girl with speed could score. A hard slug bunt could also do the same thing. Now your basic bunt, that's another story.

I could see a push bunt with a throwing error somewhere

I don't want to say too much but I did witness this once. No errors, just a very hard push bunt that rolled to fence. No bad throws, no bobbles, just a very hard push bunt that happened to go in the right place. By the way, the grass was closely clipped and it had been sprinkling, so the ball took off like a rocket when it hit the wet grass.

Yes you can limit your definition of a bunt.
ART. 1 . . . Bunt. A bunt is a legally batted ball not swung at but intentionally tapped with the bat.
ART. 2 . . . Attempted Bunt. Any non-swinging movement of the bat intended to tap the ball into play. Holding the bat in the strike zone is considered a bunt attempt. In order to take a pitch, the bat must be withdrawn - pulled backward and away from the ball.

ART. 3 . . . Drag Bunt. A drag bunt is attempting to bunt the ball by running forward in the batter's box, carrying the bat with her. The movement of the bat is in conjunction with the batter's forward movement.

Where's your other definitions, Commonsense? Push bunt, Slug bunt, etc. Thanks for proving my point.
