Some of us are scorers AND umpires.
From 10.02:
(1) Number of times he batted, except that no time at bat shall be charged against a player when (i) He hits a sacrifice bunt or sacrifice fly (ii) He is awarded first base on four called balls (iii) He is hit by a pitched ball (iv) He is awarded first base because of interference or obstruction.
As far as batting average goes, getting first on CI is the same as a walk.
