-Batted ball that strikes either of the lower two catwalks, lights or suspended objects in fair territory: Home Run.

Batted ball that is not judged a home run and remains on a catwalk, light or suspended object: Two Bases.

Batted ball that is not judged a home run and strikes a catwalk, light or suspended object in fair territory shall be judged fair or foul in relation to where it strikes the ground or is touched by a fielder. If caught by fielder, batter is out and runners advance at own risk.

Batted ball strikes catwalk, light or suspended object over foul territory: DEAD BALL.
