I am sure that there are 2 umpires that create quite a few comments drom the offended team about a foul ball call given your example.

I hsaw a call similar to that the other night on Men's slow pitch. Pop up about 2 feet past 1B landed in fair territory. Imagine a Tiger Woods wedge shot as it relates to spin.

I watched the ball and sure enough the back spin brought it back toward home plate around the inside of 1B and then rolled into foul territory. Picture in your mind a hooking motion with the ball rolling back at you. Rember that it landed past first in fair territory to bein with. You shold have heard the adult comments when the ball was called fair.
