There is an easier way to tell than trying to see it change colors with the mesh on the pole.
If you watch the TV angle you see the ball land on the other side of the train tracks. That camera is on the visitors dugout. It cannot see the tracks in foul territory due to the hill and the bullpen that go down the first base line. In fact, the camera from that location cannot even see all of the fair territory out by the tracks.
When I saw it live, I thought it was foul. After watching the replay a couple of times it was pretty clear it was fair. Not one protest from a MSU player or coach, and the ump down the first base line seemed to have a clear shot of it.
It was a crappy angle to try and judge it by the pole. The camera on the 3rd base side probably would have been a better view but with the bases loaded, it was probably focused on the runner at 3rd or some other angle.

From behind 3rd base the ball was 15-20 feet fair but hooking.
He crushed the heck out of that ball.
