Ball kicked over outfield fence

Ball hit to outfield fence, bounces off coming back into field. Hits player's foot and goes over wall, that would be (FP) Home Run (SP) Four Base Award.

Now... what if it bounces off the ground, and THEN is kicked by the player.

Looking at ASA 8.5...
Quote:
I. When a fair ball bounces over, rolls under or through a fence or any designated
boundary of the playing field. When the ball deflects off a defensive player and
goes out of play in foul ball territory, deflects off a runner or umpire and goes
out of play into foul ball territory, after having passed an infielder excluding the
pitcher and provided no other infielder had a chance to make an out.
EFFECT: The ball is dead, and all runners are awarded two bases from the
time of the pitch.
J. When a live ball is unintentionally carried by a fielder from live ball territory. A
fielder carrying a live ball into the team area to tag a player is considered to
have unintentionally carried it there.
EFFECT: The ball is dead and runners are awarded one base from the last
base touched at the time the fielder left live ball territory.
K. When in the judgment of the umpire, a fielder intentionally carries, kicks, pushes
or throws a live ball from live ball territory.
EFFECT: The ball is dead. All runners are awarded two bases from the last
base touched at the time the fielder left or the ball was kicked, pushed or thrown
from the live ball territory.
8.5.I says kicked out of foul territory... so can't use that.
8.5.J says "carry", which didn't happen.
8.5.K says "intentionally," and let's assume it was accidental.

So... is there a case play that addresses this?

Would NFHS be different?
