This was added to the MLBUM sometime after 2012:
"12. RUNNER PUSHED OFF BASE
Rule 5.06(a)(1) [former rule 7.01]:
If in the judgement of an umpire, a runner is pushed or forced off a base by a fielder, intentionally or unintentionally, at which the runner would have otherwise been called safe, the umpire has the authority and discretion under the circumstances to return the runner to the base he was forced off following the conclusion of the play."
I would think NCAA would follow. Can't see a 1 base award in your OP.
