Say it better?

HS Varsity game. Lefty batter tries bunting (not slapping but it shouldn't matter).

She bunts and the ball goes into the air only a couple of feet above the batter's head. She starts going to first but cannot avoid running into the ball as it's coming down and the ball hits her in the left shoulder/upper chest area.

I have a dead ball and the batter out for coming into contact with a fair batted ball.

Coach questions the call and claims the batter shouldn't be out because she was still in the batter's box.

My reply: "Coach, part of the batter's box is actually in fair territory, and the batter contacted a batted ball while it was over fair territory."

She asked me to check with my partner, who was in C at the time. So I did, he couldn't offer anything new, so we stayed with the call.

Could I have explained it better?
