Still in the box, the catcher grabs the ball

No one touched the ball until it was in foul territory (I am assuming catcher's box according to your post) No mention of anyone else touching the ball but the catcher. I have a foul ball.

If the ball was first touched in foul territory, then you just have a foul ball. If the ball was first touched in fair territory, then it was a fair ball, and the IFF took the force off R1 and R2. Since R2 was not forced to advance to 2B, the appeal is a timing play. If the appeal was before R1 crossed, then R1 doesn't score. If it was after, R1 counts.
