Digesting this in the 6 or so rulesets, I have OBR / NFHS baseball - out, as you stated.
NCAA - can't find yet... still looking.
Softball - ASA and NCAA - foul ball. NFHS ... still looking.
Honestly, the one that makes the most sense to me is calling this a foul ball. Consider this play but make one change - the ball is 2 feet foul and is never going to be fair... is an out an equitable result? Interference with a fielder fielding a FOUL ball should be an out?
Also ... take the same rule that made you rule an out in the OP. Apply it to this:
Bunted ball is 6 feet foul. Batter sees it foul and turns around and collides with F2 who is retrieving the still-rolling-clearly-foul ball. Do we have an out? If not ... what makes it different from the OP?
