OP was NCAA sitch; earlier post referenced ASA rules on injury and awarded bases.
ASA Rule that mirrors the NCAA rule quoted above is 8-5-H
Quote:
H. When a fair batted fly ball strikes the foul pole above the fence level or leaves the playing field in fair territory without touching the ground or going through the fence.
EFFECT: The batter-runner shall be entitled to a home run, unless it passes out of the grounds at a distance less than the prescribed fence distances from home plate, in which case the batter-runner is entitled to two bases.

Are home runs the same as a 4 base award in the application of ASA rule 4-6-E?
