What happens when two bases are occupied and the batter hits in fair territory and the ball then bounces in the stands. Is there a name for the rule and who is allowed to advance or score ?

In baseball, a ground rule double is an award of two bases from the time of pitch to all baserunners including the batter-runner as a result of the ball leaving play after being hit fairly and leaving the field under a condition of the ground rules in effect at the field where the game is being played.
