Why they hire 2 (or more) umpires

F1 is guilty of Obstruction, which is disregarded because F2 legally caught the batted ball in flight.

BR out.

F1 warned/ejected for USC, depending on the particulars.

This would've been my answer if you hadn't beat me to it, Coach. Therefore, I'm just going to quote you.

Coach, to add on one thing. If the ball went uncaught and landed in foul territory and stayed foul, I would think that there would be no obstruction anyways.

Welpe,

I would agree - in that case, no obstruction, no out.
