Bear in mind that some fields have ground rules that specify what should happen during certain live play situations. We have one park that has normal, 6' high chain link fences around each field's live ball area. However, one field has a section of fence in the outfield that, for 60', is about 25'-30' tall and is a completely different color. Ground rules at that field state that the ball must still clear the fence for it to be declared a home run. Other parks may have a similar physical setup, but may rule it differently for whatever reason (ie., Green Monster at Fenway).

Beyond any field/league-specific ground rules, the ruling is correct. 2 bases.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
