Whiskers, I may be thinking about baseball here, but since this is the first play by an infielder, wouldn't it be 2 from the time of pitch? I know that's what it would be in baseball and I thought this rule was the same in softball. Just curious.

In ASA softball, it's just what he said it was. All runners are awarded two bases from the moment the errant throw leaves the player's hand.

So in this case, it'd be home and 3B, provided that both runners tagged up properly after the caught line drive, if they were off the bases.
