Play would have been ruled incorrectly if the ball would have went in the dugout. As stated however the runners were awarded the base because the coach picked up the ball. If any infielder including the pitcher not on the rubber throws a ball out of the field of play the runners get two bases past their established base. It is the umpire's decision whether they had achieved the base yet or not. My question is was the ball still rolling when he picked it up? If so I would have ruled that the ball would have went into the dugout and awarded each runner two bases. I also realize that the umpires didn't see what happened so that affected the ruling.

yeah, the catcher basically tossed it underhand towards the dugout and it rolled up to the coach who picked it up on the roll.
