Now think about this for a minute. Lgoc sez that If you are standing on a knocked down fence, you have extended the field.

The NCAA defines this situation on page 19 and states that it is not a catch.
The 2005 ASA book states on page 142 that standing on a fence that is laying on the ground is OK, it's a catch & out.
Fed sez that it's OK to stand on the fence as long as the fence is not horizontal. There's a case book play - 2.10.5 Situation A.

So, NCAA rules for this play, homerun.
Fed rules for this play, homerun.
ASA rules for this play, catch & out since she caught it before hitting the ground.
Gotta see if Bennett has this difference in his rules differences.
