This is the correct mechanic on a proper field. In actuality, most fields in small ball do not have foul poles or lines extending very far past the bases. When we encounter fields of this caliber, the plate umpire will take all fair/foul calls. This should always be discussed in the umpires pre-game meeting so that what happened in your son's game doesn’t happen.
