I understand from reading the POE, and the rule (8.6.H I think) which says that if the ball goes over the fence without touching the ground that it is a home run, but, by the same logic, the outfielder should be able to catch the ball off the fence for an out.
I personally think ASA blew the interpretation on this one. IMO, the better interpretation is if the batted ball which is still in-flight leaves the field in fair territory it should be a home run.
