Homerun or no homerun?

 
I’m interested why people think it’s an out?

Homerun… she wasn’t in the field of play when she made the catch. Same a having a field that isn’t completely fenced in, you can’t go out of play to make a catch!
 
If you jump, your last legal position is where you left from. If you catch the ball while in the air, it is an out. If she had landed and then the caught the ball - no it is not a catch
saying that's a "jump" is a bit much. she tripped over the fence and didn't catch the ball until she was 5 feet beyond it.
 
From ask the Ump.

This is a baseball forum, not sure if softball rules differ, but in baseball this is a “catch and carry”. Out on the batter, all runners advance one base (unless it’s the third out)
