From NAPBL 3.9:
DETACHED EQUIPMENT TOUCHING PITCHED OR BATTED BALL
Any defensive player deliberately touching a pitched ball with detached equipment (such as a catcher's mask, cap, etc.) will entitle all runners to advance one base from the time the ball was touched without liability to be put out. The ball is in play, and runners may advance beyond the awarded base at their own risk. Any defensive player deliberately touching a batted ball over fair territory (or a batted ball over foul territory which, in the umpire's judgment has an opportunity to become a fair ball) with detached equipment will entitle all runners-including the batter-runner-to advance three bases from the time the ball was touched without liability to be put out. The ball is in play, and runners may advance beyond the awarded base at their own risk.
