Saw an interesting one last week, HS rules. Batter hit a ground ball down 3rd base line. From my vantage point (maybe 3-4 feet from HP up the 1st base line in the stands) it appeared to hit fair maybe a foot in front of the bag then kicked foul.
The PU called the ball fair. When offensive coach went to talk about it, the umpire stated that the ball went over a small corner of the bag, and thus fair.
I have looked and really couldn't find an answer, I always thought it had to go over the whole bag, not just a small corner.
