Jake:

I should have clarified my statement. What we tell Coaches at the Pre-Game Conference applies for situations like described in the OP or when the Ball could have become stuck under the outfield fence or gone under the outfield fence where it is not obvious as to whether the ball is in or out of play.

Your situation is the obvious Dead Ball/Live Ball situation but not in the OP.
