Game winning squeeze bunt on IBB

[blynch10]

Doesn't seem like this should work but it did. Playing a game head to head against a friend, bottom of the 9th, runner on 3rd, 1 out. My friend selects an intentional walk to set up a double play. I click on squeeze bunt just to select a play to start the at-bat. Instead of a IBB my hitter does execute a squeeze bunt successfully and I win the game.

Besides stating the obvious that my friend is not very happy, this seems like a play that should not happen. I've sat down and executed this same play over and over again and the squeeze bunt is in effect every time, not always successful but a IBB is never issued.

I've read where Honus Wagner hit a pitch that was suppose to be an intentional walk for a single by reaching out over the plate, but I believe that is why they throw it so far off the plate now. Not much posibilty of this ever happening in todays game, let alone off of a bunt.
