Batting the loose ball in any direction is a foul but the enforcement spot is the end of the related run (which is where A lost possession). The result of the play is NOT a safety because the impetus is charged to A's fumble (batting a loose ball that is in the end zone does not impart new impetus). The result of the play is a touchback for B but A will not permit that as they will accept the penalty. It will be A's ball , 3d and G at the 1/2 yard line
