I'm a 17-year-old umpire who does games from ages 9-14. Settle a little dispute I've had with a fellow umpire:
Bases loaded, one out. The batter hits a popup in the infield right by first base. The third baseman doesn't catch the ball, and the ball takes one hop and bounces foul in front of the third base bag.
I say that it's a foul ball, because a fielder has not touched it dead yet. My friend says that it's an out. Who's right?
