Yep, sounds good.

Please use a little common sense here, and realize that "remains in PLAY" means that the baseball does not become immediately dead upon contact with the foreign object, but indeed remains in play for the time being.
The ultimate disposition of said ball is determined when one of 3 things occurs: 1) it is touched by a player, or 2) comes to rest in fair or foul territory, or 3) hits a foreign object in foul territory.
