If so, maybe OP can give us what the school offered.

I was PU, and had noticed the fence but didn't think about the possibility of this particular play. High school home coach offered nothing at pregame conference. Her last comment after I ruled home run was "You gotta know the ground rules, Blue!"
FWIW, I am persuaded that foul ground beyond the home run fence has to be DBT and I should have called it a "rulebook double" even in the absence of an express ground rule, based on custom and common sense. Thanks Greymule, Dakota, and AtlUmpSteve.
