I have a 2 base award from the TOP.
8-4-3f pertains to when the defense gains possession of the ball and then throws it out of play.
Quote:
f. the ball is in play and is overthrown (beyond the boundary lines) or is blocked by the defense.
PENALTY: (Art. 3f) All runners will be awarded two bases, and the award will be governed by the positions of the runners when the ball left the fielder's hand. Runners may return to touch a missed base or base left too soon. If two runners are between the same bases, the award is based on the position of the lead runner.

8-4-3h pertains to an uncontrolled batted ball that goes out of play:
Quote:
h. a fair ball bounces over or rolls under or through a fence or any designated boundary of the playing field. Also, when it deflects off of a defensive player and goes out of play in foul territory, deflects off a runner or umpire and goes out of play after having passed an infielder excluding the pitcher and provided no other fielder had a chance to make an out.
PENALTY: (Art. 3h) The ball is dead and all runners are awarded two bases from the time of the pitch.
