-- Item A: Where is the batter; specifically, where are her feet? If in the box, foul ball. If a foot is on the ground wholly outside the box at the time of contact, she's no longer in the box. Go to Item B.
-- Item B: What is the ball status? If foul, foul ball. If fair, dead ball + out.

Wasn't the ball in flight? Ball location becomes irrelevant if the catcher, or any other defender had the opportunity to make a catch.

True. The instance of a batter being out of the box and interfering with a foul fly ball, or intentionally interfering with a ball anywhere on the field, is so rare I left it out for brevity.
