A couple things to think about. What is the basic spot for a loose ball play? Who was in possession at the time of the foul?

2. How does this play change if it is a scrimmage kick? (Assuming PSK applies here?).
You are correct that PSK does apply here. The result of the play is the same but the enforcement is different.

From a philosophy standpoint you may want to consider whether the bat towards the team's own endzone is really enough to warrant a call or not. On a scrimmage kick if the ball is certainly going into the endzone without the bat it may not be worth flagging this. That's a big foul for no advantage gained.
