Batter is out and runners that advanced to 2nd and 3rd returned to original bases.
Is this an NCAA rule or is it an ASA rule? I had never heard of this before.

Well, it is certainly an ASA rule.

EFFECT - Section 2D-H: The ball is dead and runner(s) must return to the last base legally touched at the time of the interference.
