Fair ball...batter is out.
A batted ball that deflects off of a fielder and goes out of play is a two base award from the time of the pitch.
Runner on second is awarded home, runner on first is awarded third.

Let say the runner on 1st al ready got the 2nd base. Then the fielder mistakenly throw the ball into dugout. Is the runner will awarded to 3rd or the runner will awarded home?
(Sorry for bad English).

It is two bases from the runner's location. On a batted ball which leaves playable territory under it's own impetus, it is from the time of the pitch. If it is on a throw or a batted ball which is deflected out of play with the defender providing the impetus, it is from the time of the release of the throw (or in the latter case, the contact of the defender which caused the ball to enter DBT).
Thanks Mr. MTR but I'm sorry for my bad English...... can you explain again in simple plain sentences... thanks....

Speaking ASA
When a throw goes out of play or becomes blocked, the runner is awarded two bases forward from the point at which they are standing at the time the ball was released by the fielder.
If a batted ball deflects off a fielder, the runner is awarded two bases forward from their location at the time of the pitch
