Ball bunted down 3rd in foul territory...PU calls "Foul Ball" too soon as ball is still moving. Ball hits a rock and goes straight right into fair territory. Woops! Do over.........

Dead ball was called while the ball was foul. What happens after that doesn't matter. Not a do-over: foul ball, strike on the batter, play on (after taking what you got coming). In the OP, dead ball was called in error. Not the same thing.

Details, details.

(In my head there were 2 strikes, so effectively that was a "do-over"... but I see I've actually detracted from the point. Sorry!
