Double

Skeeter,

You are correct. A bounding ball that goes beyond the fence into dead ball territory is a "ground rule" double.

Whether it goes over the fence or around the end of the fence (a fair hit that leaves the field in foul ball territory) make no difference.... double.

I've worked several fields like what you have explained. Why they didn't put in another 30 feet of fence is beyond me...???
