If the ball hit the dirt in batters box, behind the foul line, and then was caught behind the bag at 3rd in foul territory then it is almost impossible for the ball to arch over to fair and cross the bag making it a fair ball.

"Almost impossible" is no basis for a ruling.

I say almost impossible because I was not looking down the line to see the ball in flight.

But it obviously (at least to me) bounced somewhere else as well -- otherwise it would have been a "caught" ball when gloved by the third baseman.
