Home run? Ground Rule Double? Something else?

Depends on how it got there. If it was a ground ball, and if discuessed during the pregame that there was an "invisible barrier" that separated the fields, then a "ground rule 2"" If it went in the air and IF it was discussed during the pregame that "any ball they went beyond a certain distance in the air would be considered a HR", otherwise a "ground rule 2".
