chris s.,
Having reread J/R on the subject, I can only say that
you are
correct and
I am
wrong! Well, sorta anyway. According to J/R the award
is TWO bases, but it is from TOP, not TOK/deflection.
Quote:

"A subsequent push of a pitch or in-contact throw occurs when such pitch or throw is errant, but would have remained on the playing field, and a fielder subsequently pushes (kicks, deflects, etc.) the ball (itself) into DBT or the ball becomes lodged due to the push or deflection. Each runner is awarded two bases beyond his TOP base."

Thanks for making me reread this.
