Even though it's hard to see how she could be in the front of the batter's box and the ball spinning back from fair ground be in foul territory when contact occurred, it is the foul line extended and not the batter's box that applies. Depends on what the front of the box means. However, if the ump called it or justified it based on the catcher's feet and not the ball, then it was probably a wrong call. That would be correct only for the batter, not a fielder.
