Now that that tidbit is available.....it's a live ball then play on. Assuming you mean the defense could just reach and grab the ball.

I assume you didn't view the video clip linked to in the OP?

For some reason I couldn't get it to play so I had to kind of guess what he was describing.

No. Not any different than if the ball had hit the top of the fence and bounced directly back onto the field of play. Live ball, play on. Had the ball hit the top of the fence and then bounced over, it would have been a four base award.

...if it had been touched by a fielder. If it bounces off the top of the fence and goes over, untouched by a fielder, it's a home run.

I'm hoping that's what you meant.

It happened again yesterday but this time, it looks like the ball would've stayed on the fence if the F7 hadn't knocked it off.

Yeppers...I omitted the fielder touching the ball.
