Assuming the ball is traveling at a uniform velocity at 115 ft per second at an angle of 25 degree after getting hit.
The horizontal velocity component = 115 cos 25 = 104 ft/s
Time to cover 310 ft = 210/104 = 2 s
The vertical initial velocity component = 115 sin 25 = 48.6 ft/s
Distance the ball travels above 4 ft = 48.6*2 + 0.5(-32)*22 = 33.2 (using s = ut - 2gt2)
Clearly, the ball will clear the 10-ft wall.
