I know this is HS, but even in Fed ball, I don't think you can legally bat a ball, fair or foul, after it has contacted anything other than the ground.
It would seem to me that if the ball and bat were both airborne, or the ball hit the ground prior to contact, that would have to be the bat going to the ball and an interference call.
If the bat hit the ground prior to contacting the ball, then I would think this was a ball to bat situation and the ball would remain in play.
Just my two cents,
