I can't believe there's any code in which a ball that hits 2B and then somehow rebounds foul within 3B or 1B would be ruled a foul ball. Definitely not in OBR. After all, a ball that hits 1B or 3B is fair even if it bounces backward foul without actually passing a base.

Fed has the 1B-3B line. A ball that touches behind that line is fair even if it subsequently rolls foul. (The pitcher's plate, of course, is in front of that line.) In OBR, such a ball is foul. I don't know how LL or other codes rule on that one.
