Sitch: R1, 0 outs. B2 bunts down the first base line.  F2 takes his mitt and throws it at the ball as it is rolling down the line in foul territory.  I know the NCAA rules allow for an award for a "fair ball or a ball that has a chance to be fair" (not sure of the exact wording, but that's close) 

 

OBR rule 7.05© just says the three-base award is for touching a fair ball with detached equipment.  I seem to remember an interpretation somewhere that would make the award decision the same as NCAA rules.  Just looking for some enlightenment.

It's the same.

 

NAPBL:

Any defensive player deliberately touching a batted ball over foul territory that, in the umpire's

judgment, has an opportunity to become a fair ball with detached equipment will entitle all

runners-including the batter-runner-to advance three bases from the time the ball was touched

without liability to be put out. The ball is in play, and runners may advance beyond the awarded

base at their own risk.
