What is the base award?
I know what it is with ASA and NFHS, but U-trip rules do not specifically address a deflected ball. They talk about a ball thrown or carried into DBT (intentionally and unintentionally), and about a fielder losing possession on a tag play, but that's all I can find.

I would treat it as "a ball thrown or carried into DBT" unintentionally
