Home run or double?

[dash_riprock]

Batter hits a drive deep down the RF line. F9 leaps for the ball, which hits the tip of his glove over fair ground and deflects over the fence to the right (foul) side of the pole.

A. Four-base award
B. Two-base award
C. Four-base award if, in the umpire's judgment, the ball would have gone over the fence had it not been touched by F9, otherwise, 2 bases.
D. Can't think of a D

[t-rex]

OBR is answer B.

6.09 (h)

True for OBR and NCAA, but four bases in FED.

"8-3-3 Each runer is awarded:
a. four bases (home) if a fair ball goes over a fence in flight...."

This batted ball is fair (2-5-1f), in flight (2-6-1) and went over a fence.

By your interpretation, if a fly ball down RF line is knocked over the fence running perpendicular with RF it would be a 4 base award.
Is that the intent of the rule
