Line 1431: Bunting with two strikes.  Basically if you attempt a bunt, make contact, but the ball rolls foul, you are out.  This is why you very rarely see people bunt with two strikes, and instead swing, even if their role was to bunt in the first place.  The irony here is that Nagisa could not even make contact with the pitch.  However, since she didn't really know how to bunt or swing, the pitch count was based on whether or not the pitch hit the strike zone.  This is why the third pitch was a ball, since Nagisa failed to swing, the ball happened to land outside the strike zone. Not entirely sure if the first pitch Nagisa did attempt a bunt, but simply did not connect.

Also, there are various ways to bunt.  You can hold the bat horizontally and let the pitch make contact with the bat.  You can also force the bat forward a little to do a tap bunt and kind of aim it left or right.  Then is also the little slap bunt where you just bring out the bat very quickly all of the sudden and try to force it to first base, though this is probably more often seen in softball because the distance to first base is smaller.
