I'm inclined to agree here. Given the bounce in front of the plate and the fact that it went so high in the air, this ball had TONS of topspin on it, thus giving the illusion of it hitting the bag when it came down.
We've all seen a right-handed batter hit a pitch in the left-handed batter's box that takes a high bouce in foul territory, then upon landing, juts out into fair territory.
This is what happened here, IMO.
