Ground Rule Double

[SamNVa]

If the defense does not control the ball before it goes out of play, it is either a GRD or a HR depending on what the ball did before going out of play. For example,

1. the ball hits off the fielder's glove (or their head) in fair territory and goes over the outfield fence in fair territory - HR
2. the ball hits off the fielder's glove in fair territory and goes over the outfield fence in foul territory - GRD
3. the ball hits off the fielder's glove in fair territory and hits the ground or some other object (like the front of the fence) then goes into DBT - GRD
