HR

JO -

Check your books for the definition of the fair territory. Most that I have seen describe it as being "...from the bottom of the playing field fence and perpendicularly upwards."

This is universally accepted to mean the plane of the fence. Therefore if it hits the top of the fence (without touching the front face), it is considered a homerun.

Furthermore - unless you go out and can clearly see where the ball hits - let the ball tell you where it hit. If it bounces back toward the playing field - it hit the front face (no HR). If it bounces out of the field - it hit the top of the fence - HR.

Hope this helps
