I am not a baseball scholar so can someone explain the Henderson bunt?

Men on 2nd and 3rd with one out. Why bunt since there is not much chance of a double play?

The runner was five feet from the bag. No chance of scoring. Base running mistake. But you're right, not the best decision at the plate.

Heck of a play by the 1B too. He went from even with the bag to in front of the mound in a hurry.

Don't claim to be an expert but I thought he was bunting for a hit. First was open. 3b had to stay close. No force. Guess they thought we could get the runner in based on the defense on the first try. 1B made a good play or we might have scored.
