My mistake. Davidson was U1. I didn't see the play, only comments on it. It wasn't fair/foul, it was homerun/2B call. Here's a description:
"In the bottom of the third inning of the second-round game between Mexico and the United States, Mexican hitter Mario Valenzuela batted a ball into right field that bounced off the yellow foul pole (later proven by the yellow paint mark on the baseball) and back onto the field. By rule, the hit was a home run; first base umpire Bob Davidson (same umpire in Japanese controversy), though, ruled that the ball remained in play and credited Valenzuela with a double, the strident protests of Mexican manager Paquin Estrada notwithstanding. Valenzuela would later score on a Jorge Cantu single. Mexico went on to win the game, 2-1."
