How about a fly ball over foul territory? Runner on 3B off on the pitch. Batter hits a soft pop down the 3B line 10 feet short of the bag. Runner reverses direction and unintentionally runs into F5 just before the ball, over foul territory, hits off F5's glove. That's a foul ball according to ASA's definition, and the runner is out.

In ASA, batter is also out (foul or fair fly ball with runner interference).

Absolutely right, if we judge the fly to be "routine," requiring "ordinary effort."
