F1 pitch lands 5 feet in front of home and bounces. Batter chops down at ball slamming ball into ground and ball is launched into the air toward first base. Batter-runner running to first and half her body in fair and other half in foul territory. About halfway to first ball comes down and glances off batter-runner on back below her left shoulder which is in fair territory. Dead ball because bounced and hit, foul ball, or batter out?

Runner is out for interference since ball hit her in fair territory. The ball is immediately dead, and all runners (if any) would be returned to their base at the time of the interference.
