The ball rolls out of play. At the time of the throw, the first runner is standing on second base, and the batter/runner is on first.
Where should the runners be placed? For the record, at the pregame captain's meeting, the umpire told us that any ball out of play would garner a runner two bases.
If I remember correctly, there's a difference between a ball batted out of play, and one thrown out of play. Help?

Why in the world did this come up at the plate conference?
2 bases from where the runner is at the time of the throw.
