Why? The ball is foul.

A foul tip usually occurs over and is caught in foul territory, though it doesn't have to be. But as you well know, it's no more a foul ball than a fly ball the left fielder catches in foul territory. The problem is that the word foul is in a term that doesn't refer to a foul ball.
