1. Throw hits batter while she's in the box....nothing, live ball, play on.
2. Throw hits batter after she stepped out of box.
What are the penalties, if any in #2?
Also, if possible, could you site a case play .
Thanks.

Umpire, coach or parent?
Probably doesn't matter in this particular case, but you should include the ruleset you're playing under, as it does matter sometimes.
We don't have enough information yet. 1 is not always nothing. 2 is not always something. Can you describe the play in more detail? Was the throw immediate or was there some delay, what was the batter doing, exactly. This sitch is HTBT, but some description on your part might allow us to visualize and at least tell you what the umpire was (or should have been) looking for.
