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.

I used the National Federation of Softball only because the organization that runs their leagues uses that on their website. I am pretty well sure they mean the NFHSA.
Most of the umpires seem to be inexperienced ASA guys not really interested during the game. You are correct in that there is no such thing as a ground rule triple. I just used that as an example of the quality of umpires that are hired. In the situation I cited was just because he was too lazy to move up that line away from the plate. The fences at this field are about 170-180 ft at best.
Thanks for the answer.
