I believe Rich Ives covered it with MLB. 5.06(b)(4)(G), covers first play by an infielder at the time the ball was pitched and all other at the time the wild throw was made

MLB. 5.06(b)(4)(G)

5.06 [7.0] Running the Bases (b) Advancing Bases

(4) [7.05] Each runner including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance:

(G)Two bases when, with no spectators on the playing field, a thrown ball goes into the stands, or into a bench (whether or not the ball rebounds into the field), or over or under or through a field fence, or on a slanting part of the screen above the backstop, or remains in the meshes of a wire screen protecting spectators. The ball is dead. When such wild throw is the first play by an infielder, the umpire, in awarding such bases, shall be governed by the position of the runners at the time the ball was pitched; [B]in all other cases the umpire shall be governed by the position of the runners at the time the wild throw was made
