Well, 2 things really.
1) You should be able to see this from home plate - you call 90% of your foul/fair balls from either your initial position behind the plate (no time to move at all) or the 1BL or 3BL extended (minimal time to move) - no reason you can't make this call from there.
2) If you DO feel the need to move down the line for a better look, the closer you get the more you can accurately make this call without being exactly on the foul line. 1 yard foul would not have hindered his judgement on this.
