Have to go back to definition of foul ball and fair ball. An exact description is needed to make an accurate ruling. Since you are saying a ground ball I assume it is a bounding ball. So it bounces in fair in front of 1B then hits the orange bag then comes back into fair territory past 1B. It would appear by FOUL BALL point C, once it touched the orange base (which is an object foreign to the natural ground)it is a foul ball.

FOUL BALL: A batted ball that:
C. While over foul territory, touches the person, attached or detached equipment or clothing of a player or an umpire, or any object foreign to the natural ground.
