Sometimes it's better to get an expert to do the job  , I have sent one of my bats with the same problem to John at Red Ink to sort out.

Lifting wood, I love these!

PVA glue, syringe and parcel tape will fix that 

Fill the lifted area with PVA glue (using a syringe to get it further into the area if required) then wrap tightly with parcel tape to get it flat.
Leave overnight (at least, 24 hours is preferable) then remove the tape. Give the bat a sand so the face is level and the excess glue is gone. I then personally apply fibreglass tape over the area, or even a fibreglass scuff sheet, but people on here don't seem to like those...

I agree with Cam except for those dirty fibreglass scuff sheets. I use a combination of tape and g clamps to insure enough pressure is applied. If you are going to clamps, make sure you use some off cuts of wood I between the clamp and bat.
