In OBR or NCAA, it is legal to throw the glove and lodged ball to get the out at the base.

I read somewhere that in HS play, the batter and all runners advance two bases because of the lodged ball.

In FED, once the umpires determines that the ball is in fact lodged (and the umpire is the one that determines this), the ball is dead and there is a 2 base award from TOP (I believe that this was a clarification for 2007).

If this is true, what about if the ball hit is a line drive? Is the batter out?

Batter is out is out in all codes. In OBR, the runners are at risk the same as a normally caught ball. In FED, the ball is dead and the runners are awarded 2 bases from TOP.
