Why me, ignorant partner

I was working a LL Srs. game a few days back (scrimmage) and had this happen.
Bottom of the first inning.
Right handed batter takes a late swing and hits a shot down the first base line.
The ball hits the bag and ricochets into dead ball territory.
Partner behind the plate screams "FOUL BALL"
I call "Time" just to get his attention and to head off the Coach coming out of the dugout.
I tell my partner that the ball hit the bag and then went into dead ball territory and that we need to award the proper bases.
Moron behind the plate tells me that, "No, that is a foul ball."
I try to convince him to no avail, Coach tries to talk to him and he won't hear it.
It was a very long game.
