A foul tip is only a foul tip if it's caught by the catcher. Otherwise it is a foul ball...but if it hit home plate...as you're posting...it is a fair ball...sounds like you had a pretty decent ump for your 5th-6th grade game...apologize to him if you jumped down his throat..

FED rules page 21 (2-16, ART 2) a foul tip is a batted ball that goes directly to the catcher's hands and is legally caught by any fielder. It shall be called a strike and the ball is in play. Don't have OBR handy today...and can't find anything in PBUC, but it might be in there.
