I was doing a game yesterday and I was BU. Along the first base side of the infield there is a 7 foot fence. Batter hits a high foul ball f3 is going over and runnig out of room. The top of the fence has become disconnectd from the top rail so he could eaisly reach his hand through the top of the fence. This has been tried many times but this time the fielder acutally caught the ball in his bare hand. As he was pulling his hand back through the fence squeezd the ball out of his hand. I ruled that the catch was not made since F3 did not mean for the ball to come out. I couldn't find any reference in the OBR.
By the way I ejected the F3 and one of the coaches for calling me a Dumbass redneck.
