Men's ASA Slow Pitch: A batted ball is touched by an outfielder, then goes under the outfield fence in fair territory. Is this treated the same as any other ball going through the fence into DBT? Or does the fact that a defensive player touched it make any difference? Two base award from the base "held" at the time of the pitch?

It would be considered a ground rule double. ASA Rule 8-5H.

Yup, 2 bases awarded from the time of the pitch UNLESS you rule that the fielder intentionally put th ball out of play. In that case, it's 2 bases from the time the fielder touched the ball.

I have just moved and do not have any rulebooks to verify this, but here is my memory of what I have been taught. I apologize if I am mixing up a couple of different orgs (FED, ASA or NSA).
It is dependent on who supplies the impetus causing the ball to go into DBT. Examples: 1. Ball is hit, rolling toward a DBT and a fielder touches the ball, perhaps changing its direction, but the ball was still going fast enough from the force of being hit, that it went into DBT: award two bases from time of pitch. 2. Ball is hit and either stopped or rolling so slowing that it will not reach any DBT. A fielder mishandles the ball in some way and the fielder causes it to accidentally go into DBT: award one base from the time the ball entered DBT, the same as if the ball is mishandled during a tag play.
