- if the ball is touched over foul territory or comes to rest on foul territory it is a foul ball.

BTW, this is not a foul tip. A foul tip is a ball that is touched by the bat and goes directly to the backcatchers hand or glove and is caught.

BigUmp got in there just ahead of me!
"backcatchers"

Where does the "front catcher" play?
