Is she out since she left the batters box, or dead ball it hit her in batters box?
First question is, portions of the batters box are both in fair and foul territory. When she jumps into the other batters box is she hit by the ball in fair or foul area? If she is in foul, you have nothing but a foul ball. If she is in fair territory, is that her batters box? No, you have a batter/runner who has been hit by a fair batted ball out of the batters box and is out.
