What's the Call ?
Confusion at it's Best.... Need Help and Clarification of this :

A Deep fly ball to the outfield..Ball hits the Top of the Fence..bounce straight up..player attempts to grab the Ball..he touches it..slips out of his hand and Glove..falls over the fence. Now based on this.. is it a Ground rule Double...or is it a four base error...or something else...Remember, the ball never touch the ground..his hand and glove, after it hit the top of the fence...and what rule is it.

My call was a 4-Base error....was I RIGHT OR WRONG?

8.4(7) • FOUR-BASE AWARD
Any fair ball touched by a player on either side of the fence that clears or has cleared the fence in fair territory before touching the ground will be a "four-base
award," and will not be included in the total over-the-fence home run count.
NOTE: The batter may return directly to the dugout and all other runners may return directly to the dugout. EFFECT: The concept known as “hit and sit” is
permitted.
