This is one of the few cases where an erroneous foul call can be reversed since the ball never touched the ground.
Rule 2-16-1:
A foul ball is a batted ball:
e. that touches the ground after inadvertently being declared foul by an umpire.
Case Play 5.1.1 Situation A, B and C all help support this ruling.
The defensive coach has a legitimate argument and that should be reversed for an out.
