And, to the OP, it was a "foul ball" not a "foul tip."

shickenbottom,

...Example, Pitched ball goes from bat to catcher glove, to your mask, then back to catchers glove to catch, unless this is HS where any fielder can catch the ball so long as it went from the bat to the catchers glove first. ...

Even in Fedlandia, this would be nothing but an "uncaught foul". Once it touched your mask, even though it hit the catcher's mitt first, the ball was no longer "in flight".
