Are you sure you do not mean the National Federation of High Schools, which generally is used for high schools and middle schools. If so, the answer would be as above, two bases from where the runner is at the time of the throw. I don't think any rule book has a ground rule triple.

It also seems you refer to a batted ball, not a thrown ball as the posts above. That would be two bases from the runner position at the time of the pitch, IF the ball goes dead.
