Doesn't the above apply to batted balls only? Maybe I've confused ASA w/ NFHS. I thought if a play was made with detached equipment, the call was a delayed dead ball and awards of 1 base for a pitched ball, 2 bases for a thrown ball, and three bases for a batted ball.

You are correct. The three-base award only applies to batted balls that are judged to remain on the field. If the batted ball was headed over the fence fairly, then the award is four bases.
