Yes, F2's yelling caused BR to stop. BR could not see on his own that the ball was fair, as there were no lines on field at all. The only person who could tell it was fair was PU, standing at home plate, who saw the ball land just inside fair territory and he signalled as such.
Is there an ASA rule that allows PU to award BR 2B, since F2 caused BR to stop at 1B, and BR may have gotten to 2B in umpire's judgement, had F2 not yelled "Foul ball!"?
