Oh, come on now. I believe we have covered this many times before. This is one of the very basic rules in the coaches rule book. Also, you are aware that you cannot call it a fair ball when the player is clearly standing in foul territory and touches the ball in fair territory. Also, if the player touches the ball in fair territory, and falls with it into foul territory then drops the ball, it is a foul ball.

Rounding third, sees HER bat, slows, goes wide around the bat, and is
thrown out at home. Not even a close play.

Have you not read the rule on bat obstruction?

be called because the run fell. [This play got very heated., I don't know
why.]

I believe this is a judgement call.
