OBR does not cover the situation where batter, with bat in hand, and still in the box, contacts the ball a second time. Therefore, there is an OFF INTERP, and the OFF INTERP says "same as FED". If LL is like OBR then this is a FOUL ball, unless we want to ignore the OFF INTERP, in which case 9.01(c) applies and it is still FOUL, IMO.
