Seems like that was what happened.
The only way I can see the two base award would be if after the "deflection", F2 actually knocked the ball out of play while trying to retrieve it.
Too bad the coach didn't know the rule either. Although FL does not allow protests, if she had brought it to the umpire's attention (in a timely fasion, of course), maybe they would have realized the mistake.
