Contrast 2 cases:
CASE 1: Fly ball to left. Hits fielder on head (still in flight), hits top of fence, goes over fence. RULING: home run.
CASE 2: Fly ball to left. Hits top of fence (no longer in flight), hits fielder, goes over fence. RULING: two base award (aka ground rule double).
The OP was case 2.
