FR-86 RULE 8 / SCORING
b. Initial impetus is considered expended and the responsibility for the ball’s progress is charged to a player:
1. If he kicks a ball not in player possession or bats a loose ball after it strikes the ground
Are you saying that brushing his pinky on the way into the endzone constitutes ‘batting’ it?

The trajectory of the ball changed and it was obvious
I mean I don’t care anymore but don’t be clowns about it

Hitting it with your hand when the ball has hit the ground is “batting” it in the context of the rule on impetus. It makes it a live ball and should have been ruled a TD here.
It apparently would not apply in a scenario where a player was fielding the kick in the air and it grazed his hand and went into the end zone.
