If the ball is caught in playable territorty and carried into DB territory then runners on base get one base BUT the batter is out... is that correct?

That is correct. Another difference in NCAA and HS is that a HS player has to re-establish position in live ball territory before she makes the catch - in NCAA, she can actually straddle the line, lift her foot from DBT and it be a catch. Of course that's impossible to do if there's a fence. We have one field in our conference where DBT is marked by a chalk line. A ball caught in DBT is just a foul ball - catch and carry is where we start awarding bases.
