A photograph of him pointing out the offending animal quickly appeared on social media, with Logarusic maintaining that such intimidation tactics had no place in the sport.
As it happened, Cameroon went on to win the match 1-0.
Whether the bat had anything to do with it or not however remains a matter of debate.
This wasn't the only controversy to befall the championship either - just a few days later, a Zambian Super League coach was suspended after he was caught urinating on the opposing goalposts.
He was accused of acting "in a manner that is not consistent with the values and integrity of football."
