As long as the batter wasn't doing something unusual or purposely interfering, I would not agree with the call. This is not a blocked ball. It is the same as if it bounced off a coach or someone else engaged in the game and thus allowed on the field.

If the ball hit a player illegally standing outside the dugout, or hit offensive equipment that wasn't supposed to be on the field, that's another story.
