I'm of the opinion that the fans weren't reaching past that vertical plane. The ball was past the plane and so was Betts so they didn't interfere with the play.

There was three of them involved in the play, it looked like he reached out above the wall, certainly the guy on the right was reaching out passed the wall. It was not clear on TV so you have to go with the guy who called it, and he did not hesitate.
I don't think you can call it a terrible call, it was close either way and you have to give the benefit of the doubt to the ump and the player. If he catches it, its a top 10 highlight on Jay and Dan.
