ball crossing third base

[Woodchuck]

Shipwreck - So, is a ball that last touched in foul ground and then crosses over first or third base fair or foul? I always thought fair but it seems that IRISHMAFIA said in a previous post on page 2 titled "fair or foul?" that it would be foul. Dave

Dave, it does not matter if the batted ball first contacts either foul or fair territory and then passes over third base in fair territory and then contacts either foul or fair territoy on its second bounce, it is a fair ball. It is the position of the ball as it bounds over or past the bag that decides if it is fair or foul ball.
