If the ball hits the top of the fence untouched, then goes over, it's a home run. In this case, if the ball is touched, rests on the fence, then goes over, it's a 4 base award, and doesn't count against the maximum number of home runs hit by that team.

This case would be a live ball. If the players can't knock it down, I've got a blocked ball (it would be no different if the ball were stuck at the bottom of the fence or a hole in the middle of the fence). If players knock it down and it falls into playable territory, the ball's still live. If players knock it down, and it falls behind the fence into dead ball territory, I've got a 4 base award (if it was touched by a fielder) or a home run (if it was never touched by a fielder).

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
