Seems to me your F7 fielded the ball while in DBT when she picked it up while on the other side of the temporary fence. Since she did not intentionally carry, kick, etc. etc., then I would use 8-4-3i and award one base from the moment she handled the ball.

She was in dead ball territory, she intentionally reached over and picked up a live ball, making it dead.
I would rule that intentional.
