If a fly ball hits the outfield fence in fair territory then is caught before it hits the ground is it an out?
if the ball hits the wall through the glove then it is still an out
It is a home run as long as the ball never bounced on the ground or against the fence. If it does, than it is the umpires' discretion on where to place the runners.
As long as it never touches the ground or fence after it pops out of the glove it is an out. It can touch another player and still be an out also.
