By rule and what you described, everything posted here is right, obviously.

However, I'm having trouble seeing this in my head. Consider where a ball is struck by a bat. If it went from that point, down and back enough to hit BEHIND the plate... what caused it to bound fair unless it hit something (catcher's mitt or foot ... or batter's back foot, etc.). And if it hit something, it's foul. Maybe umpire just did a P-poor job explaining what he saw.
