Overthrow -- I hate this one......

USSSA Rule 8 Sec 7f

Base Runners are entitled to advance without liability to put out if:

F. When a ball is live after a batted ball and is overthrown into foul territory and is blocked.

EFFECT: Sec. 7. F. In all cases, when a blocked ball occurs on an ovethrown live ball, the ball is immediately dead. Each and every Base Runner is awarded two bases from the last base occupied, unless required to retouch.

1. When a FIRST throw is made by an infielder tring for a first play, the award is made from the Batter's and a Base Runner's positions at the time of the Pitch

2. When an Infielder makes any first attempt at a play, and then makes a Second attempted play or throw, or any throw from teh Outfield, the award is made from the last base touched by the Runner at the time the throw is released. Note: Should more than one runner be between the same bases, the advanced Runner governs the reward.

Blocked Ball Definition:
is a Batted or Thrown ball that is touched, stopped, or handled by a spectator or person not engaged in the game, or that touches any object which is not part of the Legal official equipment, or which hits or goes beyond a designated out-of-play area.


So unless I am reading this incorrectly. The retouch is counted as one base.
