I agree - "FOUL BALL" is the classic "can't unring the bell" call. Take your situation with a close score and an excited coach on defense. How do you rectify that your partner stopped the defense with his call, and allowed a routine hit to turn into a triple?
While it is not "fair" (pardon the pun) to take away a hit from the offense, the best you can do (most of the time - there are situations where you can determine what would have happened) is to take the path of least damage, and that would be to let the foul ball call stand.
