no call or foul ball?

First time this has happened to me and I can't find a ruling in the ASA rule book:

Tree branches overhang backstop. Foul ball goes up, and in coming down hits a branch, deflecting the ball away from the catcher, who would have caught it.

Just a foul ball? Dead ball/strike? Dead ball and the infamous do-over?

Thanks!

Should have been discussed in pre-game discussion or by league rules. Couple of HS diamonds in area here have this situation...it is always ruled a dead ball/foul ball. It would be in the ground rules/local rules part of ASA rule book, I think.
