Despite the TV announcers declarations, this is not a judgment call.
Let's hope that the umpires had a good plate conference and decided that when a live ball is thrown or hit into the bullpen and gets lodged in the equipment -- it is considered out of play.
The pitcher fielded the bunt and threw it out of play. The award for a ball thrown out of play on the first play by an infielder is two bases from the time of the pitch. The batter is awarded 2nd base and the runner on first base is awarded 3rd.
