No, by by my logic, any untouched batted ball that first hits the ground in fair territory beyond the "technical infield" - i.e., beyond the square defined by the four base points - is irrevocably fair. I believe this is the proper OBR interpretation.
"On the lines" the ball would have to go at least 90.00000000000000001', while "dead center" it would have to go at least 127.3750000000000001'. Between the lines and dead center, it would have to travel at least a proportionate distance between those two.
I
thought the segments of the broken line were two different colors, but I wasn't sure on my monitor.
