What is considered a home run?

Answer 1

A hit that allows the batter to make a complete circuit of the diamond and score a run, either hit over the fence, or and inside the park home run, which is when the ball is hit and allows the batter to score a run without the ball even leaving the park

Answer 2

The home run in softball is the same as in Baseball. When the batter hits the ball over the outfield fence in fair territory it is a home run. It is also considered a home run if the batter hits the ball inside the fence and is able to run all the bases and back to home plate before being thrown out.
