3rd Base Line

[tyson29]

Player A is in the field at the position of 3rd base. While trying to hold a runner on he places one foot in play and one foot out of play. The batter rips a line drive down the 3rd base line. With one foot out of play the 3rd baseman reaches into fair territory and the ball tips off his glove. Is this a foul ball even though it was clearly hit into fair territory? does the one foot that is in foul ground negate a obviously fair ball? or is it a fair ball?
