It appears the umpire was incorrect. MLB Rule 6.05 (h)

The batter is out when:

After hitting or bunting a fair ball, his bat hits the ball a second time in fair territory.
The ball is dead and no runners may advance. If the batter-runner drops his bat and
the ball rolls against the bat in fair territory and, in the umpire’s judgment, there was
no intention to interfere with the course of the ball, the ball is alive and in play. If
the batter is in a legal position in the batter’s box, see Rule 6.03, and, in the umpire’s
judgment, there was no intention to interfere with the course of the ball, a batted ball
that strikes the batter or his bat shall be ruled a foul ball;

Sounds like a foul ball to me.
