Let's say the situation where, like above, the ball goes straight down, and dies in the soft powder, up inside the BB (fair territory). Batter and F2 stand there (they're young, think its foul). You look down, see it's plainly up in the fair corner of the BB. Coach yells "Run!", and she kicks it on the way out.
What's your call gonna be?

Dead ball; batter-runner is out; all runners return AND the only thing it depends upon is my observation that the ball was in fair territory.
