Never ever saw this before and I have been umpiring over 35 years. Don't know what caused it to bounce so high. NFHS rule says "The batter is awarded first base only on the fourth ball." I believe the reason I got it wrong is because of the rarity of it plus awarding only to first isn't penalizing the defense.
