Unless things have changed recently, the batter gets credit only for the bases he runs. So if he stopped at 1B, he would be credited with a single. Or if he passed a runner, which has happened more than once in the Majors, he would be credited only for the bases he touched before he was out.
I once saw Hector Lopez of the Yankees get credit for a single instead of a double when he stopped at 1B after bouncing a game-winning hit into the stands.
I'm not sure how they would score it if the winning run scored but the batter didn't even go to 1B. I guess if the defense appealed 1B, the batter would not even get credit for the hit, but he would of course get the RBI. But since the game would be over, the defense might not even bother with the appeal. I don't know. Give him a single?
