I'd recommend a three base award IF in your judgement the ball could have rolled fair.
For the case of a foul ball specifically, it isn't covered in OBR rules thus you may apply 9.01(c).
Use this rationale: If a fielder deliberately deflects a foul ball that could become fair, it IS a three base award by rule in both High School and College rules. In the absence of an official OBR rule, the same interpretation was adopted and established by the professional rules interpreters. All known precedents establish this award.
Rich glad to see your quoting FED. The applicable FED rule is 8-4-3b. Don't you think it's time for LL to adopt FED?
