Wow, this discussion was so convoluted; I've never seen so many different things talked about in 15 posts. Foul ground balls, foul fly balls, detached equipment, bats hitting balls a second time...
Is it pretty much a done deal that the situation in the OP was nothing but a foul ball?

![]() As the original poster, I do agree that this should have been simply ruled a foul ball. And I did find the phrasing that got me confused in the first place. (That was one of those tangents.)

Rule 7.09 a batter or runner is out when: 7.09 It is interference by a batter or a runner when— (b) He intentionally deflects the course of a foul ball in any manner; Ring em up, until a ball is declared foul it is still live. It can't be declared until It passes 1st or 3rd, settles, touches something, is touched by the defense or strikes the batter in the box. There is no place for any member of the offense to touch a batted ball.

So get the group that doesn't know the rules in the sport they're working and have them interpret their situation from some other sport they may or may not work. Kinda like adding sulfur to hydrochloric acid. I got sent to the vice principal's office for doing that once.
