I presume that this is another case of the rule makers forgetting to amend ALL relevant parts of the book when they inserted a change.
The only significant difference between 6.09(e) and the cited 7.05(f) is the failure to omit the words "outside the first or third base foul lines;" from 7.05(f).
After all, many of the other instances covered in 6.09 are duplicated in 7.05, so why not this specific award?

Oh, I agree (w/o checking on the specifics).
I thought the original poster was saying "I read 7.05, and I can't find an award for a 'ground-rule double' if the ball hops over the fence in fair territory."
I was pointing out (or trying to), that the award is covered, and that in most instances you can't read only a single rule to address a particular situation.
