foul tip / bunt foul 3rd strike / bunt attempts

A couple of things that came up in today's game that I was wondering if there was a way to score:

foul tip on strike 3 caught by the catcher - I scored it Strikeout Swinging
is there anything specific I should have used?

batter fouls a bunt attempt with 2 strikes - I scored it Strikeout Swinging
is there anything specific I should have used?

when a batter attempts to bunt and either misses or fouls off, I'd like to be able to record that so when I look at the Play-by-Play later on, I can see which batters were attempting to bunt. Is there any way I can do that?

Thanks.

On iOS, we have a selection for both the foul tip and bunt foul, but statistically, it is still just a strikeout.

Adding a comment to the pitch is the easiest way to make it clear in play by play what happened.

Thanks. will have to start trying the comment feature. It's probably also the solution to keeping track of when my switch hitters are slapping lefty or swinging away righty.

yeah, my DD swings away lefty as well as righty, so I'm actually tracking several different at bat types for her
