In this EXTREMELY unlikely (though still remotely possible) situation, I believe you can't completely ignore the exception under 8-2-D. Are we saying that because the batter is now in the dugout, they're out? Or are they out once the ball is touched (making it fair), and they're in the dugout before it goes over the fence?
