The bases are loaded. The score is 4-4. Team A is playing Team B. It is the bottom of the 9th. Batter hits the ball down the right field line. It goes to the right field corner, where out of reach of the right fielder but does not touch the ground yet. A fan leans over and catches the ball in fair territory. Had the ball not been caught, it would have bounced off the wall.

What is the final score of the game and why? Is Batter A awarded a single, a double, a triple, or a HR?

What do you think the anwser is and why?

If it would have bounced off the wall, it couldn't be a homer.

Under baseball rules, it would be a single, as that's all that was needed to win the game.
