Had one just like this on Sunday during my first 3 man game down over 3rd base line, but the ball landed right smack-dab in the middle of the line!  Nice call here ...

I had one like this last week but the dropoff from the infield to the outfield is so drastic that from HP, there is about 15ft of the line that you cannot see.  Of course the coach in the coaches box can see it fine because he's 90ft closer.  

 

When in doubt, what would you call?  A screamer on the line and you are physically unable to see the line due to field conditions?  Fair or Foul.

Did you see it fair?

Didn't see it period.  Physically impossible unless you were 10' tall.  I called foul because I felt that it probably was.  But I really am asking here.

Benefit of the doubt usually goes to fair.

Action can not happen with a foul ball, do not miss possible outs.

At least in this situation with the ball going out of play it would have been easy placing the runner.
