PBUC 4.21 Batted ball strikes helmet or bat.
If a batted ball strikes a helmet accidently (no intent on part of runner to interfere) in fair territory, the ball remains in play the same as if it had not hit the helmet.
If a batted ball strikes a helmet accidently (no intent on part of runner to interfere) in foul territory, it is a foul ball.
J/R say the same thing:
"a batted ball that strikes an unatural object (a) over fair territory remains live, and is fair or foul according the directives immediately preceeding. (b) over foul territory is foul and dead.
So in the situation by bossman72, the ball becomes foul when it ends up foul. In the OP case, in which the ball ended up fair, it is a fair ball.
