Now, batter hits a ball off home plate that bounces straight up into the air. F2 reaches out, snags the ball, BU puts arms up and calls "foul ball". Good call?

#1 any ball that first hits fair and passes or bounds over any part of 1B/3B is a fair ball. If this did not happen, then it's foul. #2 BU blew it. Only thing I could think of if the BU thought it hit the batter on the way up.
