Seems like that was what happened.

The only way I can see the two base award would be if after the "deflection", F2 actually knocked the ball out of play while trying to retrieve it.

Too bad the coach didn't know the rule either. Although FL does not allow protests, if she had brought it to the umpire's attention (in a timely fasion, of course), maybe they would have realized the mistake.

you have to remember, it is not a two base award,
it is two single base awards
One for ball four that moves the runner to third on the force then the single base award for the ball being thrown out of play.
This is how it was explained to me.

Question?
the author responded to you?
I couldn't get an email though to them
